Scientists say they may have developed a new breath test that will diagnose two forms of cancer quicker than normal.
It is understood the revolutionary new testing kit could help improve survival rates who diagnosed with cancer of the the stomach and the oesophagus.
Speaking about the breakthrough lead researcher Professor George Hanna of the Imperial College London said it will help patients with non-specific symptoms: “They go to the general practitioner, they have the test and this will test the likelihood of the patient having oesophegal gastric cancer.”
“This will direct the patient to have more invasive and specific investigations to test other treatment.”
