Research article summary (published 29 Jun 2009):

Fiber diffraction of skin and nails provides an accurate diagnosis of malignancies.

Full Abstract
An early diagnosis of malignancies correlates directly with a better prognosis. Yet for many malignancies there are no readily available, noninvasive, cost-effective diagnostic tests with patients often presenting too late for effective treatment. This article describes for the first time the use of fiber diffraction patterns of skin or fingernails, using X-ray sources, as a biometric diagnostic method for detecting neoplastic disorders including but not limited to melanoma, breast, colon and prostate cancers. With suitable further development, an early low-cost, totally noninvasive yet reliable diagnostic test could be conducted on a regular basis in local radiology facilities, as a confirmatory test for other diagnostic procedures or as a mass screening test using suitable small angle X-ray beam-lines at synchrotrons.

Note from Anoir : The publication of this data means it will soon be available for peer review ... ie the first step in gaining acceptance from other oncology professionals. If none refute her findings (after reading the paper) Veronica can then move on to the next phase in her agenda (whatever that might be).
