Electronic Nose for Detecting Cancer

Prof. Hossam Haick of Technion (the Israel Institute of Technology) has created an electronic nose that is capable of detecting the biomarkers of cancer from a patient's breath. Currently undergoing clinical trials, the Nano Artificial NOSE (NA-NOSE) is capable of detecting the biomarkers of lung and head and neck cancers in a non-invasive test. It is also showing promise in detecting other forms of cancer and diseases in the body by the unique chemical signature emitted in the breath.
