5) Lump sum payment: Policyholder will receive 25 % of sum insured on diagnosis
of early stage of cancer or carcinoma - in - situ and 100 % of sum insured (after deducting early stage cancer or carcinoma - in - situ claim paid, if any) on diagnosis of major stage of cancer.
One of the next steps will be to detect biomarkers in blood for disease diagnosis at the very
early stages of cancer when the disease is more easily treatable.
b) Waiver of premium benefit: The future premiums for 3 years will be waived for the policyholder, in case he / she is diagnosed
with early stage of cancer or carcinoma - in - situ.

With the blood test, it is possible, at a
very early stage of cancer (colon cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer) to identify patients who are at high risk of developing life - threatening metastases.
Scientists investigating
the earliest stages of cancer development used an exquisitely sensitive sequencing method capable of detecting DNA mutations present in as few as 1.6 per cent of blood cells, to analyse 15 locations in the genome, which are known to be altered in leukemia.
The prevailing theory of cancer progression — that it's driven by the accumulation of genetic mutations that increase tumorigenic «fitness» — holds true for
the early stages of cancer progression, but metastases seem to find new ways to increase their fitness, McDonald said.
This is time - consuming, and the method can also fail to spot cells at
the early stages of cancer, when numbers are very low.
In
the early stages of cancer — just when the tests would be most useful — there may be little or no circulating tumor DNA in a person's blood.
«How dense breast tissue drives
the early stages of cancer: Study finds answers.»
Emerson discovered how the gene COX - 2, involved in inflammation, is turned on in
the early stages of a cancer to help it grow and then off again in a more mature tumor to protect it from immune responses.
Imagine a world where cancer could be easily prevented with a simple vaccination; where
the earliest stages of cancer could be detected, treated and cured before they had a chance to spread; and where more advanced cancers had a reliably tested, genetically targeted treatment customized to each patient.
Our group studies how normal cell behaviour is altered by mutation in
the early stages of cancer evolution.
Although the level of tumour DNA present in the blood is much lower during
the early stages of these cancers, the program was still able to make a diagnosis demonstrating the potential of this method for the early detection of cancer, according to the researchers.
DNA from tumour cells is known to end up in the bloodstream in
the earliest stages of cancer so offers a unique target for early detection of the disease.
Cancer hijacks the immune system by various cellular and molecular mechanisms and dysfunction of immune system arises during
the early stages of cancer and throughout progression to later aggressive stages.
Bleeding can occur in both
the early stages of cancer or the later stages.
It is often
the earliest stage of cancer, stroke, Alzheimer disease and heart disease, not to mention to common «itis» conditions such as tendonitis, arthritis, colitis, and bursitis.
It has been hypothesized that the dose of resistant starch was insufficient and / or it was delivered too close to cancer development (i.e., it might have missed its opportunity to prevent
the early stages of cancer development).
The difference of smell is so significant that the dogs are able to detect it even in
the early stages of cancer.
Sometimes, at least in
the early stages of cancer, there are no obvious symptoms.
This tends to happen during
the early stages of cancer and will decrease the dog's quality of life over the course of the disease.
The insurance company shall be liable to pay the claim on diagnosis of carcinoma - in - situ /
early stage of cancer and major stage of cancer to policyholder.
In the event of diagnosis of major stage of cancer, 100 % of sum insured will be paid minus
early stage of cancer or carcinoma - in - situ claim paid
In an extension to the findings of Kernan and Lepore, the present results suggest that it is not only benefit finding in
the early stages of cancer treatment that predicts later distress but that this longitudinal relationship is found across the six yearly assessment points in the present study [21].
