Medical world is becoming more sophisticated day by day. Not long ago, the researchers using an electronic nose to detect and differentiate uterine tissue cells between the healthy and affected by cancer. This study was conducted by Gyorgy Horvath from University of Gothenburg and researchers from the University of Gävle and KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Previously, researchers have used trained dogs to demonstrate whether the ovarian cancer cell has a specific smell. The dog actually has the ability to distinguish ovarian cancer tissue between healthy and gynecology affected by cancer. These findings have been published in the BMC Cancer journal.
Furthermore, through cooperation with Thomas Lindblad from KTH and Jose Chilo from the University of Gavle, Horvath conduct a study of smell or aroma detection to develop an electronic nose. “We have successfully created an electronic nose that can detect and distinguish the odor of ovarian cancer by sniffing the fallopian tube and uterus of healthy muscle,” said Horvath.
He added that this technique is estimated to be more practical. “This method is quite sensitive, specific and can save hundreds of lives per year in Sweden,” said Horvath. “Our goal is to be able to detect the presence of ovarian cancer cells in women through blood samples. Thus, the handling can be done earlier and have greater opportunity to heal,” he said. These findings have been published in the Future Oncology journal , December 2010 edition.
