Doctors can test patients for lung cancer by testing for lung cancer, according to a study published in the British journal Respiratory MedicineIt is understood that lung cancer patients exhaled gas, with volatile organic compounds characteristics, can be captured and analyzed by a chemical color sensorThe team, led by DrMazzone of the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, tested the device on 122 people with different types of respiratoryand 21 people whohealthyOf the 122 patients, 49 had developed small cell lung cancer with varying stages of developmentSince 1985, scientists have been paying close attention to the presence of respiratory tests for cancer, using techniques such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometryTheseinstrumentsexpensive, but doctors also have to be trained to use themThe novel "colority method" sensor has 36 chemical-sensitive points, mounted in a small, simple and disposable tubeThose dots become discolored when they come into contact with volatile organic compounds associated with cancer(Dagong)(reprinted from the Legal Evening News)
