Lung cancer will search using a thermometer

Diagnosis deadly lung cancer may be conducted using an ordinary thermometer, as the researchers found the University of Foggia. They offer to check the temperature of the human respiratory system.

Diagnosis of Lung Cancer

Italian scientists have developed very simple non-invasive method diagnostics Lung Cancer Which includes measuring the temperature of breathing human. The experiments showed that at 82 people with suspected lung cancer   after x studies, analyzes breathing allowed temperature accurately determine those with whom the disease was subsequently confirmed by biopsy.

It turned out that the victims Lung Cancer   Temperature is breathing slightly elevated. However, its growth is influenced by different factors, but research possible to establish that the temperature is usually higher when the patient smokes. Also this parameter is observed in humans with lung cancer last stage. It should be noted that the development of Italian scientists was another contribution to the research of minimally invasive methods of diagnosis of lung cancer, which do not require a biopsy of lung tissue - a costly, painful and lengthy procedure.

The findings of researchers from Italy require additional testing. Scientists themselves are currently working on increase the accuracy of diagnosis by detecting human breathing specific chemicals that are released tumors. All this should be simplify the process of finding the disease make it more affordable for people and less expensive. (READ MORE)
