Can breath test detect stomach cancers earlier?

This new research sounds promising.  World-wide, 1.4 million cases of stomach and esophagus cancer are diagnosed. These cancers are often found late because there are no early warning signs.  Unfortunately, there’s only a 15 percent chance of a five-year survival rate.  But a new test may change these stats.  A research team collect breath samples from over 300 patients with and without these cancers.  The accuracy rate was 85%.
