Our Philosophy
At Bright, our philosophy is simple: early detection saves lives. According to the American Cancer society, women diagnosed with stage one breast disease have a 100% chance of survival. Yet in the US, Breast cancer is still the leading cause of cancer death among women between the ages of 20 and 59, and the leading cause of cancer death for women worldwide. Why? Most screening methods are most effective in detecting cancers in their later stages, after they've been developing for a number of years. For these patients, survival rates are much lower. Our solution: By detecting subtle metabolic changes to a patient's physiology, the Eclipse screening system can detect symptoms of concern while cancers are still in their earliest stages, giving patients a life saving head start.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), one of eight agencies that compose the Public Health Service (PHS) in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The NCI, established under the National Cancer Institute Act of 1937, is the Federal Government's principal agency for cancer research and training. The National Cancer Act of 1971 broadened the scope and responsibilities of the NCI and created the National Cancer Program. Over the years, legislative amendments have maintained the NCI authorities and responsibilities and added new information dissemination mandates as well as a requirement to assess the incorporation of state-of-the-art cancer treatments into clinical practice.
