The finding was subsequently confirmed in the paper entitled "Experimental confirmation of a distinctive diffraction pattern in hair from women with breast cancer," published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute 2001: 93: 873-875. Click here to access the full paper

"Since distinctive changes in the fiber diffraction of hair from women with breast cancer were reported by James et al [1] several groups [11-13] have reported apparently conflicting results. This brief communication presents, to our knowledge, the first comparison of two double-blind studies using samples from the same patients. The first experiment replicated exactly the procedures by Wilk et al [14] and by James et al [15] and showed distinctive changes in the fiber-diffraction patterns from all patients with breast cancer. The second experiment [3] used a different protocol and did not show these distinctive changes, indicating the need to observe the protocol as described by James et al."
