Breathalyzer for Cancer?

Posted: Updated:

Scientists in Italy have developed a breath test that detects cancer.

Researchers said cancer cells produce substances that can be found in the breath.

They used a breath analysis on people with and without colon cancer and found it was accurate 75 percent of the time.

Doctors are now working to improve the test's accuracy.
