A new breath test reveals Mesothelioma lung cancer

Researchers find that the breath test a sensor to detect small lung cancer with moderate accuracy.

The device, which contains 36 vehicles attached to a chemical spill on the disclosure of sensitive models for volatile organic constituents in the breath, and these points change color when exposed to certain chemicals.

The aim of the study, published in the medical journal Thorax to determine the feasibility of establishing a multi-color models that can accurately detect the disease.

The tests were carried out on 49 patients suffering from lung cancer and 73 patients with other types of disease, and non-malignant lung disease and 21 were subject to medical examinations.

And enable the model set by the researchers to identify 73% of the cancer, while the description is wrong 28% of the cases which do not contain malignant tumors as cancerous.

“The. Peter MAZZONI of the Cleveland Clinic, Ohio, that further work may clarify the nature of the distinct elements of breath, he added, “This will help to clean the sensor and a collection of breath to reach the maximum accuracy in the diagnosis of the test.”
