PATIENTS with suspected pancreatic cancer could take a breath test at their GP surgery and get the result in three days after scientists launched a £1.1million trial.
PATIENTS with suspected pancreatic cancer could take a breath test at their GP surgery and get the result in three days after scientists launched a £1.1million trial.
More than 6,000 people will be recruited with the hope of making the 30-second test available on the NHS within five years.
It works by detecting changes to the chemicals in a patient’s breath, even in the early stages of the disease when lives can be saved.
Pancreatic Cancer UK, which is funding the research, called it “the most significant step towards a lifesaving breakthrough in 50 years”.
