"MIT Develops Breathable Sensors for Early Detection of Lung Cancer"

TL;DR Summary
MIT scientists have developed a new method for early lung cancer detection that involves inhaling nanoparticle sensors and then taking a urine test. This technology is particularly beneficial for low- and middle-income countries with limited access to CT scanners, offering a simpler and potentially faster diagnostic alternative. The innovation is expected to have a significant impact in regions where lung cancer is prevalent due to pollution and smoking.
