From the Ted Talk by Jorge Soto: The future of early cancer detection?

Unscramble the Blue Letters

Today, most of us have to wait for somtpmys to indicate that something is wrong. Today, the maiojrty of people still don't have access to early cancer dotitceen methods, even though we know that catching cancer early is basically the closest thing we have to a silver bullet cure against it. We know that we can chnage this in our lifetime, and that is why my team and I have decided to begin this journey, this jroeuny to try to make cancer detection at the early stages and monitoring the appropriate rseospne at the molecular level easier, cheaper, smarter and more accessible than ever before.
