Color sensor breath test can detect lung cancer

A breath test can successfully pick up lung cancer with "moderate accuracy" even in the early stages, reveals research published ahead of print in Thorax. It could revolutionise the way cancer is detected and potentially save lives, say the authors.

4. Pre-treatment blood test could guide lung cancer therapy
   06-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A multi-center team, led by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center investigators, has developed a new pre-treatment blood test that predicts which non-small-cell lung cancer patients will live longer when they are treated with certain targeted cancer therapies (Iressa, Tarceva). The mass spectrometry-based test, described in the June 6 Journal of the National Cancer Institute, may allow physicians to select the most beneficial therapy for each lung cancer patient, a step forward in the era of personalized medicine.

5. Test for lung cancer looks for discomforting quiet among protective genes
   09-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
   When it is quiet -- "almost too quiet" -- in movies, it is a sign that something is about to go wrong for the good guys. This holds true for the genes that protect against lung cancer, as researchers presenting at the AACR's second International Conference on Molecular Diagnostics in Cancer Therapeutic Development have found.

6. A new technology for cancer screening listens for the signs of cancer
   09-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Cancer-sensing devices built as cheaply and efficiently as wristwatches -- using many of the same operating principles -- could change the way clinicians detect, treat and monitor cancer in patients. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have created an acoustic sensor that can report the presence of small amounts of mesothelin, a molecule associated with a number of cancers including mesothelioma, as they attach to the sensor's surface.

   Researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston can identify and quantify specific protein markers in human saliva to provide an early, non-invasive diagnosis of breast cancer, according to a study appearing today in the journal Cancer Investigation. The study is being applied to "lab-on-a-chip" technology that may bring this type of diagnostic test -- capable of detecting the presence of cancer before a tumor forms -- into everyday use.
