摘要

Researchers from the University of Liverpool, UK, and the University of the West of England, Bristol, UK, have built a device that can detect the early signs of bladder cancer from urine 'headspace, (the gas or empty space above the contents of a sealed container) in less than 30 min.The device, called ODOREADER, is about twice the size of a payment card reader and contains a metal oxide sensor that analyses chemicals in the gas emitted from heated urine samples, creating an odour profile,. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde-which are produced when malignant cells undergo metabolic changes-are separated according to their chemical properties in a gas chromatography oven and eluted from a capillary column.To assess the efficacy of ODOREADER for detecting bladder cancer, Khalid et al. studied urine samples from 98 male patients, aged 27-91 years, who presented to urology clinics in Bristol, UK, with bladder outflow obstruction symptoms or haematuria (or both). Bladder tumours were later identified in 24 of these patients and the device detected cancer in all of them, as well as correctly assigning 70 of the 74 controls (men with urological symptoms but no cancer).
