Introduction
Colon cancer polyps produce high amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lactate. The high metabolic activity also causes an increase in temperature. Sensors for any one of these inputs alone would be confounded by normal physiological variation in temperature, lactate concentration, and ROS concentration. We propose a system designed to detect higher than normal levels of all three, producing two separate outputs.
