New Breath Test Diagnoses Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is notoriously hard to detect in its early stages, but this chemical test was found to detect the disease in 75% of the cases. The test is said to be simple and inexpensive. Once the test is perfected, they should make the cigarette manufacturers put a test strip in each carton of cigarettes.
