Urine ‘scent’ test can detect bladder cancer

“The new device, called ODOREADER, contains a sensor that responds to chemicals in gas emitted from urine, said the study in the US scientific journal PLoS ONE. It analyzes the gas and reports on the chemicals contained in urine, which scientists can then read on a computer screen in order to diagnose cancer of the bladder. ‘We looked at 98 samples of urine to develop the device, and tested it on 24 patient samples known to have cancer and 74 samples that have urological symptoms, but no cancer,’ said Probert. ‘The device correctly assigned 100 percent of cancer patients.’ The next step is to expand trials to a wider sample of patients.”
