A Breathalyzer For Cancer
Tiger4 writes "Cancer researchers in the UK have come up with a way to sniff for lung cancer on the breath. 'From the results, the researchers identified 42 "volatile organic compounds" (VOCs) present in the breath of 83% of cancer patients but fewer than 83% of healthy volunteers. Four of the most reliable were used to develop a nine-sensor array made from tiny gold particles coated with reactive chemicals sensitive to the compounds.' Other sources have picked up the story as well. Obviously, this would be a big breakthrough for rapid screening, and early detection significantly improves outcomes."
Nothing is impossible. Continue hoping. Hope keeps us alive. quang ba website
there's a statistical certainty that if you don't die of something else then cancer will get you.
So you're saying if I die of cancer, I can't die of anything else?
That I'm immortal?
