Electrical tests for stomach cancer hope to aid early detection
Medical researchers from Boston University Medical School and Massachusetts Memorial hospitals with MIT built a device measuring stomach electrical charge to spot cancer early. In trials the test correctly indicated cancer in about 75 to 85 percent of cases, using swallowed and arm electrodes to compare voltages. The project, supported by the U S Public Health Service, seeks a safe, accurate diagnostic tool alongside surgery outcomes.
