Researchers at the Israel Institute of Technology are devising an ‘electronic nose’ that may be able to identify chemical signals of certain kinds of cancer on a person’s breath.
A total of 80 volunteers, 36 of whom were healthy and the rest had some form of head, neck or lung cancer, took part in the research. A prototype of the ‘electronic nose’ was used to spot the chemical markers of some upper body cancers present in the breath of the patient.
This discovery, once it has undergone years of testing and further research, could make the initial diagnosis of these kinds of difficult-to-detect cancer much quicker and simpler. This may mean that the disease is spotted and treated earlier, potentially giving the patient a better chance of recovery.
However, cancer charities have been quick to point out that the likelihood of the breath test being used in GP’s clinics is still years away.
