New Breath Test to detect Lung and Breast Cancers
A breath test designed to detect established lung cancer in humans showed promising results in a study conducted by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University.
.............
The breath sampler and analytical method used for both studies were developed by Bayer, a principal research scientist at the Georgia Tech Research Institute. The research was funded by a Jim and Sarah Kennedy pilot grant.
As a patient breathes into the device, chemical compounds are trapped and examined by a sensor. The researchers' sensing methodology combines gas chromatography a technique for separating complex compounds with mass spectrometry, which identifies the chemical makeup of a substance. Specific patterns in the compounds are then found and used to determine whether or not the disease is present...............
