Fast low cost method for detecting cancer...patenting in question...opportunity for open innovation from their patent application?

BioTime’s Subsidiary OncoCyte Corporation Provides an Update on the Development of the Novel Pan-Cancer Diagnostic Product PanC-Dx(TM)

- An annual PanC-Dx(TM) blood test could be the future alternative to the mammogram as the frontline screening method for breast cancer - http://www.marketwatch.com/story/biotimes-subsidiary-oncocyte-corporation-provides-an-update-on-the-development-of-the-novel-pan-cancer-diagnostic-product-panc-dxtm-2012-03-22?reflink=MW_news_stmp

Also, what else could this technology be used for? What other conditions? Veterinary use? Idea Springboard for other products? How could you build on their work?

If interested, do a patent search or ask someone (not me) to do a patent search for you.  The patent application might be viewable by the public, by now.  From what you find, maybe you can design around the patent application...or find better patents...and design around their granted claims...

Some places to search are....
