Biophysical CA/CV
The Most Advanced Cancer and Cardiovascular Surveillance Available
What is BiophysicalCA/CV?
BiophysicalCA/CV is a tool for people who want to enhance their personal health surveillance program for cancer and cardiovascular disease. Many people want to be proactive in their approach to these diseases so they make healthy lifestyle choices, participate in routine screening exams (like mammography and colonoscopy), have routine cholesterol checks and are attentive to changes that may happen in their bodies. But some people want more.
For those who want more Biophysical offers BiophysicalCA/CV. The first component of BiophysicalCA/CV is a unique panel of biomarkers that are commonly associated with certain types of cancer: colon, liver, lung (small cell lung cancer), breast, ovarian, testicular, prostate, pancreatic, and others.
In addition, the BiophysicalCA/CV includes “secondary” biomarkers: molecules indicative of the inflammation and blood vessel growth that are frequently found in the presence of cancer.
We stress that this panel is not a definitive “test for cancer”. Rather, it is to be used as part of an overall wellness program, and all results should be reviewed with your physician.
The second component of the BiophysicalCA/CV is a comprehensive evaluation of your unique cardiovascular-associated biomarker profile. Cardiologists now understand that just measuring cholesterol, HDL, and LDL provides only a partial picture of cardiovascular risk. Coupling a comprehensive cholesterol/lipid profile with key biomarkers of infammation completes this picture, providing a thorough analysis of the many factors that can affect your susceptibility to heart attack and stroke.
BiophysicialCA/CV is an Annual Testing Program
BiophysicalCA/CV is most informative when you have established your personal biomarker baseline with your first year’s test. Some people naturally run “high” or “low” for many of these markers (especially with cancer-associated biomarkers), so much more importance is attached to the year-to-year change in levels than to any single measurement. A dramatic increase in any cancer-associated biomarker from one year to the next warrants further medical evaluation. The cardiovascular-associated biomarker test highlights physiological risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Physicians can treat these risk factors through various medications and lifestyle changes. BiophysicalCA/CV can be repeated to check that treatment is effectively managing these risk factors.

Established Science
BiophysicalCA/CV biomarkers are routinely used by physicians to monitor cancer and cardiovascular disease. Biomarker applications are rapidly expanding in every field of medicine, and BiophysicalCA/CV brings this new technology to patients and their physicians at an affordable price.

Your report is not diagnostic of any disease or condition and should not be used to self-diagnose or self treat. We encourage every individual to share the results with their personal physician. Only a physician can interpret these results for you, recommend additional testing, recommend treatment and lifestyle changes and/or use the information as a baseline from which future test results can be compared.
