Vitamin D Testing Errors Continue - The Vitamin D Cure Blog » Blog Archive

"A recent article in the New York Times highlighted an ongoing problem with the accuracy of vitamin D testing at the largest commercial clinical laboratory, Quest Diagnostics. It has become clear from shared experience among vitamin D experts, including myself, that Quest Diagnostics has a problem with seemingly random over-estimation of vitamin D levels."

Hollis BW.
Am J Clin Nutr. 2008 Aug;88(2):507S-510S. Review.
PMID: 18689391

In this article, I provide an overview of the techniques available for measuring 25(OH)D, compare these techniques with one another, and assess their clinical utility. I also briefly discuss the stability of 25(OH)D in biological media and present an overview of the Vitamin D External Quality Assessment Scheme.

Captan: Carcinogenic Potency Database

The Carcinogenic Potency Database (CPDB) is a unique and widely used international resource of the results of 6540 chronic, long-term animal cancer tests on 1547 chemicals. The CPDB provides easy access to the bioassay literature, with qualitative and quantitative analyses of both positive and negative experiments that have been published over the past 50 years in the general literature through 2001 and by the National Cancer Institute/National Toxicology Program through 2004. The CPDB standardizes the diverse literature of cancer bioassays that vary widely in protocol, histopathological examination and nomenclature, and in the published author’s choices of what information to provide in their papers. Results are reported in the CPDB for tests in rats, mice, hamsters, dogs, and nonhuman primates.

Prostate cancer test set to transform treatment | Science | guardian.co.uk

Men with prostate cancer could soon be given a cheap and easy test to reveal whether their disease is likely to be life-threatening or not.

Doctors are developing the test after discovering that men with an aggressive form of prostate cancer carry elevated levels of a particular molecule in their urine.

The test, which is expected to be available within three to five years, could transform prostate cancer treatment by identifying men with the most dangerous form of the disease early on.
