Breath Test For Breast Cancer
A SIMPLE 2-minute breath test at a doctor's surgery could detect breast cancer at an early stage.
Some medical conditions cause patients to exhale volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in their breath. In the US, a breath analyser made by Menssana Research of Fort Lee, New Jersey, is already being used to detect telltale VOCs in the breath of patients whose bodies are rejecting a heart transplant.
