Smelling Cancer with GC-MS

August 20th, 2008 · No Comments

Cool.

Philadelphia’s Monell Center sampled the air directly above basal cell carcinomas [using GC-MS -ed] and found it was different to similar samples from healthy skin.

[Another group -ed] has trained dogs to detect subtle changes in the odour of urine which could indicate bladder cancer, and is hoping to detect prostate and skin cancers the same way.
