Signs of Lung Cancer Can Now Be Detected When You Exhale
– Researchers have developed a prototype device that can accurately detect the difference in isoprene levels between healthy individuals and those with lung cancer, just by analyzing a person’s exhaled breath. – Isoprene levels are lower in people with lung cancer compared to healthy individuals. This is thought to be due to changes in the […]
