能够嗅出癌症的"电子鼻"

An 'electronic nose' has been developed that can sniff out cancer in patients' breath.
科学家发明了一种“电子鼻”，可以从患者的呼吸中嗅出癌症。

The device can distinguish between people with the disease and healthy individuals.
该设备可以区分有疾病的人和健康人群。

Scientists believe the breath test could be especially useful for patients with head-and-neck cancers which are often diagnosed late.
科学家认为这个呼吸试验尤其对头颈部确诊为癌症晚期的患者有用。

The Israeli researchers collected breath samples from 82 people who either had head-and-neck cancer, lung cancer, or were cancer-free.
以色列研究人员收集82名患头颈癌，肺癌或没有癌症的人的呼吸样本。

Lead researcher Professor Hossam Haick, from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, said: 'There's an urgent need to develop new ways to detect head-and-neck cancer because diagnosis of the disease is complicated, requiring specialist examinations.
以色列理工学院技术学院一名主要研究人员Hossam Haick教授称：“急需发明战胜头颈癌的新方法，因为诊断出这种病是非常复杂的，需要专业的检查技术。”

'We've shown that a simple 'breath test' can spot the patterns of molecules which are found in head-and-neck patients in a small, early study.
“我们发现，在一个小的早期研究中简单的‘呼气试验’能发现头颈部患者的分子结构。”

'We now need to test these results in larger studies to find if this could lead to a potential screening method for the disease.'
“如今我们需要通过更多的研究检验这些结果，找出这种方法能否成为治疗疾病一种可能筛选方法。“

The Nano Artificial NOSE device was even able to detect differences between head-and-neck cancer and lung cancer patients.
这个纳米人造鼻子设备甚至可以探测出患有头颈癌和肺癌病人。
