Hi, if anyone has new information about new treatments I would like for you to share.

I watched a show a few weeks ago about an IBM computer called Watson being used at some hospitals to help oncologist pick the best treatment for cancer patients.  The show said Watson was correct more times than the oncologist because it could read research material faster than the doctors. I found this link talking about it.

My doctor is Robert Bast. He invented the CA125. He has discovered a new biomarker. Anti-TP53 Autoantibodies. It can detect ovarian cancer 13 months before the CA 125 rises. For those that the CA 125 does not rise it detects 33 months before they were previously able to diagnose.

He is working on a scan that is better than a CT, mri, and the pet for ovarian cancer. He is looking for the best biomarks to be used to make the best identifying signal for SQUID (superconducting quantum interfering device). Maybe one day we will all be getting a SQUID scan.

Any new info out there I would love for you to share.
