Ginger Meyers, the Director of Clinical Affairs for Power3 Medical Inc. in Houston, notes that in several news reports, Roberts' cancer was not immediately picked up on mammography and was only diagnosed after several invasive exams, including a biopsy. In fact, according to Meyers, Roberts' cancer may have developed several years ago, but has only now grown to the size where it can be detected. This reflects the critical need for earlier detection of breast cancer, which devastates the lives of hundreds of thousands of American women and their families every year.

Scientists at Power3, in conjunction with Mercy Hospital Women's Center, found that they could develop a test for breast cancer using blood serum. This test, called BC-SeraPro™, analyzes biomarkers, or specific proteins, that indicate the difference between normal breast tissue, a benign tumor, and a cancerous tumor.

Ginger Meyers can discuss:

How early is early? What is the definition of early breast cancer and the role of biomarkers in early detection;

How a simple blood test can help physicians diagnose cancer much earlier than current standards of detection;

What would a blood test for breast cancer mean to women across the world and what impact it could have in breast cancer survival.

Meyers and her team at Power3 have spent the better part of two decades researching biomarkers and developing diagnostic tools. Meyers, a Registered Respiratory Therapist, has an Associates Degree in Allied Health Sciences and 26 years of clinical and healthcare management experience. She is articulate and knowledgeable in this area and can help your audience understand how early detection can save millions of lives.
