The Health Monitor is also said to detect lung cancer symptoms. Does that mean it detects when you have definite lung cancer cells or does it detect the signs that one is at high risk of getting lung cancer?
Hello.
Metabolism of cancer cells significantly changes and they begin to synthesize a number of volatile organic compounds:
• Ammonia
• Isoprene
• Ethan
• Pentane
• Acetone
Each of these substances absorbs light with a certain wavelength. Due to their technological features Health Monitor capture and quantify these spectral disturbances.
If high concentrations of the above compounds are detected in the exhaled air, then this is an occasion to undergo a full screening involving CT, MRI, and so on.
An accurate diagnosis with localization, type, size of the tumor, the device can not deliver.
But it will allow to find signs of danger still at that stage when treatment will be as effective as possible.
Even before the onset of complaints and symptoms of lung cancer.
