60s and 8% of those in their 70s. Only a small percentage, known as “mucin-producing cysts,” have the potential to develop into cancer.
The samples were subjected to protein analyses, conventional image scanning and molecular tests, to identify significant genetic mutations and chromosomal changes.
Results were then fed into a special computer algorithm called “MOCA.” Over time, MOCA “learned” to use that information to search for millions of telltale markers for cancer risk.
MOCA then predicted which cysts represented no risk for cancer, a small risk for cancer (requiring follow-up monitoring), or a high likelihood for cancer and a real need for surgery.
The result: The CompCyst screening method concluded that
