Inhalable nanosensors could enable early lung cancer detection

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, nanotechnology

Using a new technology developed at MIT, diagnosing lung cancer could become as easy as inhaling nanoparticle sensors and then taking a urine test that reveals whether a tumor is present.

  • This non-invasive approach may serve as an alternative or supplement to traditional CT scans, particularly beneficial in areas with limited access to advanced medical equipment.
  • The technology focuses on detecting cancer-linked proteins in the lungs, with results obtainable through a simple paper test strip.
