New Integrated Biosensor to Detect Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer mortalities in men. It is a malignant tumour, which generally affects men over 50, and the chance of diagnosing a prostate cancer is minimal. Survival mostly depends on the stage at which the cancer is detected. Now, new techniques have been developed that largely depend on an electronic nose and optoacoustics. These techniques can help improve diagnosis and prevent treatment delays.
