Prostate Benign* 25% 5% 77
*At the 95% cutoff value, a small percentage of benign breast and prostate samples were positive. Increasing the cut-off value to include
99% of normal individuals reduces the percentage of false positives, at the expense of a slight decrease in sensitivity

SERUM ASSAYS TO DETECT RECAF™ (THE RECEPTOR FOR ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN) IN SERUM
In a study comparing normal patients, patients with BPH (Benign Prostate Hyperplasia) and
patients with prostate cancer:
1) RECAF™ detected early stage prostate cancer
2) RECAF™ discriminated prostate cancer from BPH substantially better than total-PSA
(tPSA) or free-PSA (fPSA)
3) RECAF™ discriminated between BPH and prostate cancer significantly better than
thethe generally accepted discrimination obtainable with tPSA or fPSA using tPSA or
Cancer Stage SENSITIVITY SPECIFICITY NUMBER OF SAMPLES
Stage I 90% 100% 42
Stage II 93% 100% 45
In a blinded study RECAF™ has been shown to detect early stage breast cancers. Data collected on
Stage I and Stage II cancers are shown below.
#Typical data obtained with a Radioimmunoassay (RIA).
