Breath test to detect cancer: Study

news-medical.net

According to researchers cancer may soon be detectable using a breath test. They are now developing sensors that can detect chemical markers of lung, breast, bowel and prostate cancer in a person's breath. The new portable device has been purported as an electronic nose that can detect early cancers. As a cancer grows, the surface of the cells emits chemicals. The research found that sensors " involving gold nanoparticles " could be used to detect these chemicals in the breath.
