Description: Over 85 percent of all pancreatic cancers are diagnosed late, when someone has less than two percent chance of survival. How could this be? Jack Andraka talks about how he developed a promising early detection test for pancreatic cancer that’s super cheap, effective and non-invasive -- all before his 16th birthday.

I saw this today in a FB thread. Most interesting and quite uplifting, worth posting forward. I hope that this young man goes far in his quest to help humanity.
May his path be blessed and that he is protected from harm.
@Mods: I did search to see if this was posted before but didn't see it anywhere in the forum, if it is already posted, then please move this post with the OP. if that not the case then great! Also I placed this on General Discussion because it seems the best place for the thread. I apologize in advance if I'm not correct, and, can you move the thread where it fits better? I hardly post so I'm a little rusty here.
