Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology came up with another simple method of detecting colon cancer, which includes just a yogurt and urine test.

Professor Sangita Bhatti was able to develop molecules that act as biomarkers in the detection of colon cancer cells. If these molecules are drinking with yogurt, and they find their way to the cancer cells, where enzymes break down to small particles and ejected from the body in urine.

All is then needed is to take a small piece of paper and pick up these particles.

Earlier methods for detection of colorectal cancer included the intake of these molecules by injection, and new method has removed the invasive part by modifying the bacteria in yogurt.

The tests were conducted over laboratory mice, while in clinical trials in human patients this method proved extremely easy and cheap in detecting this malignant disease.

According to the American Association for the Fight Against Cancer (ACS), only 40 percent of people with colon cancer have early diagnosis of the disease, due to the small number of available tests.
