Established Science
Proven in the pharmaceutical industry, now available to consumers
Through the innovative use of technology developed for clinical researchers and the pharmaceutical industry, BiophysicalCheck now offers consumers a means to have their own personal health risk factors evaluated. Many diseases or medical conditions alter the level of an individual's specific blood chemistry in a characteristic fashion. Tests that detect these changes are cornerstones of modern medicine. BiophysicalCheck was designed to monitor an individual's blood to aid in the early detection of cardiovascular disease and important types of cancer.
State-of-the-art health surveillance
BiophysicalCheck is a unique panel of biomarkers that are commonly elevated in people who have cancer and cardiovascular disease. This biochemical profile includes the measurement of blood components whose affect on health is broadly recognized, as well as those recognized only by oncologist (cancer specialists) and cardiologists.
In addition, the assessment provides a valuable baseline enabling individuals and physicians to monitor changes and trends in blood chemistry over time.
Why analyze or "stack" multiple biomarkers?
There may be a significant benefit in simultaneously measuring multiple biomarkers (a process also called “stacking”). For example, the most commonly used screening test for ovarian cancer is a single biomarker called CA 125. However, CA 125 only identifies Stage I ovarian cancer in 50 percent of cases. The other half of women with early stage cancer will be missed by this single test. If five additional, biologically independent tests, each of which also has an individual detection rate of only 50 percent, are stacked along with the CA 125 test, the theoretical combined detection rate of the six tests increases to 98 percent.
