Early detection is key when it comes to treating cancer. The Greece test measures circulating tumor cells before they form a tumor. This simple blood test is revolutionizing the way cancer is treated, and is applicable for all types of cancer. Here are some important facts about the Greece Test.
The Greece test, also called RGCC testing, conducted by Research Genetic Cancer Center (R.G.C.C.) in Greece, looks at circulating stem cells before signs and symptoms of cancer are clinically apparent. Also called the Greek test, the intention behind the Greece test, is to find the most effective treatments for halting cancer growth.

Circulating Tumor Cells
Circulating tumor cells are cells that have escaped the primary tumor, and can be detected in the bloodstream. These cells are responsible for tumor formation and metastasis, and are what make cancer so deadly. Determining which substances will effectively treat these malignant cells is key to preventing tumor growth, and is predictive of disease progression.
Purpose Of The Greece Test For Cancer
- Identifies genetic markers implicated in the growth of cancer
- Determines how many malignant cells are in the bloodstream per mill of blood
- Identifies malignant mutations that will be potentially resistant to specific therapies
- Evaluates treatments and medications that will best treat the disease
Circulating tumor cells are tested against conventional treatment substances, such as chemotherapy agents, as well as natural substances.
The Greece Test Detects Cancer In The Early Stages
The Greece test differs from other imaging tests, including MRIs, PET and CT scans, colonoscopies, and mammography, which are able to detect tumors that have already formed. Conversely, the Greece test tracks circulating stem cells before tumor formation.
If the test comes back showing a high number of stem cells, this indicates the need for further investigation, whereas lower numbers correlate to treatment efficacy. The test looks at approximately 150 markers; 50 immune therapies, 50 chemotherapy agents, and 50 natural substances.
Once the circulating stems cells are isolated, they are then cultured. The cells are placed in a petri dish, and tested for each of the 150 substances separately. After 48 hours, it can be determined how many malignant cells were eradicated, with each individual substance being thoroughly displayed using assessment charts and graphs.
A written explanation is also included in the assessment. A treatment plan can then be put together according to which substances have been deemed the most effective.
Who Can Benefit From The Greece Test?
The Greece test is designed for patients in three categories: patients with metastatic cancer who are searching for viable treatment options, those whose cancer is in remission and want to decrease their risk of relapse, and cancer patients whose cancer has not yet spread, and are hoping to prevent metastasis.

Cancer is a systemic disease, meaning it travels via the bloodstream, which is why chemotherapy is used. In reality, this highly toxic treatment makes circulating tumor cells more resistant. Cancer cells are highly adaptive and adept at building resistance to the very drugs used to attack them.
Tracking circulating tumor cells provides vital information in regard to which treatments will best target the stem cells. The Greece test is not commonly used by doctors who use conventional cancer treatments. It wouldn’t make sense for them to use a test that confirms that their treatment of choice, chemotherapy, does not kill cancer stem cells.
Natural Therapies Treat Circulating Stem Cells
Natural practitioners, however, find the test very useful as it shows which natural therapies will most effectively treat the disease. Changing the milieu of the body is also critical, and one of the best ways to treat circulating stem cells, in conjunction with alternative treatments.
Optimal nutrition, consistent exercise, detoxification, and oxygenating the body are common-sense strategies that can’t be underestimated in changing the body’s terrain.
Epigenetics, the study of alterations in gene expression, not involving DNA sequencing, shows that gene expression, including oncogenes, can be positively or negatively impacted by lifestyle.
The Immune System Is Key
The Greece test is an amazing lab, providing valuable information for treating cancer. However, it is expensive, costing approximately $2,000. Like any test, it has its limitations. For instance, it can’t provide information regarding the entire body’s immune response, but it does present enough relevant data regarding which natural substances will be the most efficacious.
Moreover, the test proves that natural substances do kill cancer. You can still treat cancer holistically without using expensive lab testing or toxic drugs that damage the immune system, fundamentally reducing the chances of recovery.
The immune system is what will ultimately restore the health of the body. The human body is intelligent, and knows how to heal itself when given what it needs. Click the banner below if you are interested in compassionate cancer coaching.
Key Points
The Greece test isolates circulating tumor cells taken from a simple blood draw. Cells are then cultured against 150 substances to determine which ones will inhibit cancer cells from spreading. A comprehensive treatment plan can then be formed based on this information.
The test is frequently used in countries outside the United States as it is not yet FDA-approved. Unfortunately, the lab is quite costly, making it prohibitive for some people.

Hi, I must say that this article is very helpful and informative. Honestly, this is the first time I’ve heard about the Greece test for cancer and I am glad that I learned something new about this terrible disease. It is great that they discovered a way to treat this disease but just like you said, it is way expensive and many people would not have money to pay for that.
Hi Daniel,
Yes, the test is expensive, but on the other hand, so are conventional cancer treatments. Many people have not heard about the Greece test. It’s an awesome test, and one that I would get if I had cancer.
Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment!
I’ve always suspected that blood has something to do with metastasis, so I’m glad to hear that they’ve pinpointed a cause in the Greece test. It makes sense that cancer cells would travel through the bloodstream. Perhaps we can find something highly effective and less barbaric than chemo to inject that will fight off these cells.
I’m glad that the Greece test proves that natural substances kill cancer. It does seem a little pricey, but maybe worth it if it can help prevent cancer.
They call the bloodstream the cancer highway because that’s how the disease is able to spread and why it’s so deadly. Cancer likely wouldn’t be fatal if tumors could be contained in one area. The Greece test is so amazing because cells that travel in the bloodstream can be eradicated before they can form a tumor.
The lab tests natural substances in terms of efficacy, so yes holistic therapies are effective against cancer. The test is expensive, but so are other treatments. It’s a personal decision every cancer patient must make.
Thank you for reading!
What an interesting article you have written.
I have heard about the Greece Test for cancer before but never really knew much about it to be honest. It’s crazy how they can check how many malignant cells were eradicated in just 48 hours, and with all the data displayed using charts, graphs and a written assessment!
There surely has to be a way of finding a cure for cancer by using this method.
There have been way too many good people taken from this world early because of this horrible disease so with all the money being raised every year all across the globe we have to get to the bottom of it, and get The Big C completely eradicated from human existence
I am so pleased that I came across your post, you have filled in the blanks for me regarding the RGCC testing and given me a lot to think about so thank you very much and will back soon to read more of your informative content :)
Thank you so much Matthew,
The Greece test is an incredible lab because it tracks circulating tumor cells before they can form a tumor and spread to other parts of the body. It’s a very thorough test in terms of how the data is displayed.
You are so right, too many wonderful people have died before their time. It really is tragic, but the Greece test is allowing us to come one step closer to eradicating this heartbreaking disease.
I really appreciate your comment. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my article!
When I was younger my grandma, deceased now, had cancer and I sure wish more could have been done for her at the time. Perhaps your testing and products could have helped her. I don’t really have that much experience with cancer myself,
I like that you’re a holistic health practitioner. You chose a great niche for yourself and I know there are a lot of people out there that would and could really use your help so I hope you reach them and have much success by helping others and getting your site to the top so it can reach everyone.
This is my honest opinion, thank you for taking the time.
Have a great day and much success to you!
I’m sorry to hear about your grandmother. I would really like to help as many people as I can. Thank you for reading!
