Cancer is a condition where an abnormal growth of cells occurs in some part of the human body. The existence of these cells, known as tumors, tends to affect the functioning of the organ or body part they are affecting. Cancers develop quickly and begin to grow out of control. They also attack the healthy cells of the area causing often irreparable damage to the area. A well established cancer tends to spread across the body to various other organs, a process known as metastasis. Metastasis is an indication of an advanced stage of cancer which tends to be difficult to recover from.
Cancer detection is often a serious problem because some cancers do not produce symptoms until they have begun to grow. This means that by the time a diagnosis is done, the condition is already at a dangerous stage which requires serious treatment. There are alternative methods to test for cancer and one of these is the Navarro test. The Navarro test relies on the quantity of a hormone, HCG, in the urine. Research has found that the HCG hormone level in the blood is elevated with all forms of cancer. When the level of HCG reaches 10 times the normal level it is likely to be caused by some form of cancer. Further investigation can then be done to identify the area where the cancer cells exist. The main advantage of this test is that it is completely risk free as it is done outside the body using a sample of urine that is expelled as a normal body process. The other major advantage of the Navarro test is the ability to diagnose cancer at a very early stage. Early diagnosis is the key to cancer survival. During the early stage of most cancers, the tumor is limited to a small area and may not even be affecting the functions of the body, thus producing no symptoms. Catching a cancer at this stage is likely to result in a high chance of patient survival.
The Navarro test can be used to monitor the growth of the cancer. The test can be conducted regularly on a person diagnosed with cancer to judge the progress of any treatment being used. A reducing amount of the HCG hormone in the urine is a sign of an improvement whereas the converse is true of a cancer that is not responding to treatment and is getting worse.
