The device can quickly and accurately diagnose cancer and cancer sites such as lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and colon cancer.

Researchers led by Dr. Heike of the Center for Nanotechnology have studied the bionic electron microscope based on the smell function of canine cancer. Previous studies have found that trained dogs can smell cancer early in the infection.

Researchers have developed a nanosensor that functions similarly to the olfactory bulb of a dog.

Results of clinical examination for 177 patients aged 20 to 35 years showed that the nose was correctly diagnosed at a rate of 92%.

The device also identifies the type and location of the four types of cancer, including lung, breast, prostate, and colon cancer through their breathing.
