Abstract: The present invention provides methods of diagnosing cancer in a test subject, comprising exposing an array of chemically sensitive sensors comprising a material selected from the group consisting of conductive nanostructures coated with an organic coating, a conducting polymer and a conductive polymer composite, to a blood sample and a urine sample obtained from the test subject, and analyzing output signals of the chemically sensitive sensors upon exposure of the array to the blood sample and the urine sample. The array of the chemically sensitive sensors can be a part of a portable medical device. Further provided is a method of diagnosing cancer in a test subject, comprising measuring and analyzing levels of a set of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a blood sample and a urine sample obtained from the test subject.
