They do mention:

““The long-term vision,” says Horstmann, “would be to have a device where not only bees are in there that can detect diabetes but also tuberculosis and cancer. So, with one blow of the patient, we could detect different diseases.”

But — in this case they are looking for acetone in the breath of people and maybe there are other substances present in people’s breath who have other diseases. But in my opinion, it would make more sense to do a chemical analysis, rather than “train bees”.
