Taking the test

Please ask your doctor about taking the AMAS test. Physicians around the country are recommending and administering the AMAS test on a regular basis for patients at high risk for cancer, and for followup purposes on patients already diagnosed and/or treated for cancer. If your doctor is not familiar with the test and does not have a shipping kit, please call and we can send a free kit. The kit contains reprints of scientific papers on the test a requisition form, and all supplies for drawing and sending a blood serum sample. The kit includes a Styrofoam packing box and silicone-free test tubes, as well as step-by-step instructions for the lab. The only other requirements are a centrifuge and a local supplier of dry ice for shipping (dryicedirectory.com). Your doctor should receive the results within 72 hours of our receiving the serum sample.
