E-Nose Can Detect Various Cancers
The cancer sniffing E-Nose is quite amazing, if capable of doing what this article suggests. Can you imagine a technique, as non-invasive as a breath analyzer, capable of indicating cancer? Although the studies are small, they suggest a potential to detect cancer prior to tumors becoming visible in X-rays. In further development, such a device could be quite valuable in monitoring treatment and possible relapse.

What is colon cancer?
Colon cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the colon.
The colon is part of the body’s digestive system. The digestive system removes and processes nutrients (vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and water) from foods and helps pass waste material out of the body. The digestive system is made up of the esophagus, stomach, and the small and large intestines. The first 6 feet of the large intestine are called the large bowel or colon. The last 6 inches are the rectum and the anal canal. The anal canal ends at the anus (the opening of the large intestine to the outside of the body).
