Australian researchers have developed a breath test using an electronic nose to help diagnose malignant mesothelioma in its early stages.
The non-invasive test, created by a team at the University of New South Wales, is designed to distinguish between benign and malignant disease and to detect disease early.
“If you catch it earlier your chances of actually giving people the right treatment to stop it spreading are actually better,” says study team leader, Associate Professor Deborah Yates, from UNSW's St Vincent's Clinical School.
