Episode 1: Follow Your Nose

from The University of Liverpool Podcast · host University of Liverpool

Chris Probert leads a team at the University of Liverpool that's invented a machine that can reliably detect the early stages of cancer in a patient with nothing more than a sniff of small sample. For some cancers, like those of the urinary tract, this has the potential to dramatically simplify the detection of tumours. It offers an alternative test that is not only much more comfortable for patients but also potentially much more accurate.
