American researchers in their study have shown that changes in our body fluid odours can be used to recognize the occurrence of lung cancer tumors.

The scientists at the Monell Center and collaborators states that it may help in methods to classify the potential of the diagnostics biomarkers for lung cancer in human urine. Monell biologist Gary K. Beauchamp is a senior author on the study concluded that cancerous tumor result in a change in the body and can be detected by both trained animal sensors and by complicated chemical methods.

This finding specifies that odour sensing has the capability to improve early diagnostic and predictive approaches to lung cancer treatment. Scientists have used a controlled animal model to diminish many confusing factors frequently that was found by human patient studies. In behavioral studies, sensor mice were the first trained to identify the smell of urine of animals with lung cancer. These trained sensor mice were able to use urine odour to make a difference between tumors that were bearing from healthy animals. Read the rest of this entry »
