Executive Summary
Amplistar is pursuing an entirely new approach to cancer diagnostics, one it hopes will allow both earlier and more effective detection of the diseases.

The company believes that antibodies generated in response to tumor antigens may be detectable in the blood earlier than tumor marker proteins.
