A new breath test may be able to detect lung cancer according to a new study by scientists in Israel. This new research could be quicker, easier and have a decreased cost for diagnosing lung cancer. The test may also allow for earlier detection which increases a patients odds of survival. The team is hoping their results can be extended to include diagnosing other forms of cancer.
Given that 1.3 million people worldwide die of lung cancer each year according to the World Health Organization, this could have widespread impact on the patients themselves and the healthcare systems.
With each new study I am hopeful we are coming closer to earlier detection/diagnosis and better treatment for lung cancer patients. |
