A control series of 105 patients in hospital with non-malignant diseases was used in a limited clinical assessment of the MOD-MEM test. Twenty-seven positive results could be explained on the basis of destruction of nervous parenchyma, tissue necrosis, tuberculosis, malignant disease, etc. The remaining 13 unexplained positives showed a sex and age distribution in agreement with that predicted from cancer registration statistics if the MOD-MEM test detects cancer about 16 years before the clinical appearance of the disease.
在对MOD - MEM检测进行的有限临床评估中，选取了105名患有非恶性疾病的住院患者作为对照系列。27个阳性结果可基于神经实质破坏、组织坏死、结核病、恶性疾病等情况进行解释。其余13个无法解释的阳性结果显示出的性别和年龄分布，与癌症登记统计数据所预测的情况相符，前提是MOD - MEM检测能在疾病临床出现前约16年检测出癌症。
