Researchers from TAU and its partner agencies have developed breakthrough lung cancer testing equipment – ​​stopping lung cancer in the disease orbit
In the United States, lung cancer also causes more deaths than the sum of the three cancers (colon cancer, breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer) after its ranking. The reason for the high mortality rate is very simple: it is not easy to detect. The lung cancer invasion does not leave any fingerprints, just quietly eroding the victim until it is transferred – it is no longer treatable.
Cancer researchers in Israel, the United States, and the United Kingdom have jointly developed a new device that can revolutionize lung cancer and identify stages of cancer progression. This breath tester is embedded with a "NaNose" nanotechnology chip that can "sniff" cancer tumors. The invention was jointly researched by Professor Nir Peled of Sackler School of Medicine at Tel Aviv University in Israel, Professor Hossam Haick (inventor) of Technion Institute of Technology, and Professor Fred Hirsch of the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver, USA.
Clinical trials recently presented at the American Congress of Clinical Oncology in Chicago included 358 patients diagnosed or at risk for lung cancer. Clinical trial centers include the University of California at Denver, Tel Aviv University, the University of Liverpool, and a radiation therapy center in Jacksonville, Florida. Other researchers include Professor Paul Bunn of the University of California at Denver; Professor Douglas Johnson of Jacksonville, Dr. Stuart Milestone and Dr. John Wells; Professor John Field of the University of Liverpool; and Dr. Maya Ilouze of Tau and Tali Feinberg.
The Boston-based Alpha Szenszor company has been licensed for the technology and hopes to bring it to market in the next few years. At the same time, a new, smaller version of the device that plugs into the computer's USB port is under development.
The study was funded by the European Union's LCAOS funding to promote early detection of lung cancer, and the International Association for Research on Lung Cancer (IASLC).
