Cancer Genome Mutations Mapped – Scientists have mapped the genomes of skin and lung cancer, allowing them to know which specific mutations cause the disease.
The development of the cancer genome maps, hailed as a major breakthrough, could lead to earlier detection and better drug treatments.
Melanoma and lung cancer are triggered by sets of tens of [...]

Breathalyzer Detects Lung Cancer – Israeli scientists devised a special breathalyzer that detects lung cancer by using gold nanoparticles that latch onto specific volatile organic compounds.

The portable breathalyzer detects levels of so-called volatile organic compounds (VOC) — measured in a few parts per billion — that become more elevated in cancer patients.
The gold nanoparticles used [...]
