John R. Miles: 本期节目讨论了癌症研究的突破性进展，特别是利用DNA分子表观遗传信号进行早期癌症检测的可能性。这种方法通过识别癌细胞在早期阶段发出的信号，利用标准实验室设备进行检测，有望实现更早、更有效的癌症治疗。
Michael Marquardt: 我介绍了EpiOne公司正在研发的新型癌症检测技术。这项技术基于对DNA分子中特定表观遗传信号的检测，可以识别癌细胞在极早期阶段（零期）发出的信号，从而实现早期诊断。该技术利用标准实验室设备，成本低廉，具有广泛的应用前景。这项技术已经获得了前列腺癌的专利，并对包括胰腺癌在内的其他六种癌症进行了临床验证。我们的目标是让这项技术惠及全球各地的人们，无论其经济状况如何。
Michael Marquardt: 我分享了我个人的经历，以及这些经历如何促使我投身于癌症研究和支持工作。我第一任妻子因癌症去世，这让我深刻体会到早期检测的重要性。在担任美国癌症协会主席期间，我致力于推动癌症研究、患者支持和倡导工作。现在，我将我的专业知识和经验投入到EpiOne公司，致力于将我们的早期癌症检测技术推向市场，造福更多患者。
