Many cancers could be successfully treated if the patient consulted a doctor sufficiently early. But how can a developing cancer be detected if it doesn't cause any symptoms? In the near future, suitably early diagnosis could be possible via cheap, simple chemical sensors, thanks to chemosensing polymer films developed at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw.
