Stomach cancer 'spotted by breath test'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-21671455
Earlier diagnosis and treatment could save more lives
A quick and simple breath test can diagnose stomach cancer, study findings reveal.
Scientists from Israel and China found the test was 90% accurate at detecting and distinguishing cancers from other stomach complaints in 130 patients.
The British Journal of Cancer says the test could revolutionise and speed up the way this cancer is diagnosed.
About 7,000 UK people develop stomach cancer each year and most have an advanced stage of the disease.
