Power3's BC-SeraPro Test Highlighted in Woman’s Day Magazine
Article Features Blood Serum Diagnostic For Early Detection of Breast Cancer
The Woodlands, TX -- Power3 Medical Products, Inc. (OTCBB: PWRM), a leading proteomics company specializing in the development and commercialization of diagnostic tests for the early detection of breast cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, was highlighted in an article in the January issue of Woman’s Day Magazine in the “Health Your Health” section.
The article, written by Barbara Brody, highlights BC-SeraPro™, Power3’s blood serum diagnostic test for the early detection of breast cancer. Brody writes, “A recent study found that the test, which screens for proteins that indicate the presence of cancer cells, can accurately detect cancer 80 to 90 percent of the time.” Power3 launched the BC-SeraPro diagnostic test in the Middle East through a distribution agreement in October 2007. The company plans to offer BC-SeraPro in high-risk cancer centers in the United States later this year.
“We are excited to be featured in Woman’s Day magazine,” said Steve Rash, Chief Executive Officer of Power3. “We believe BC-SeraPro will be a critical new test for women, one that will supplement and enhance the breast cancer detection methods that are currently offered. We are happy to be able to increase awareness of the importance of early detection by inclusion in a publication that reaches such large numbers of women.”
Woman’s Day has a circulation of 4.3 million, according to Audit Bureau of Circulations.
