The fast development of analytical techniques in the field of gas analysis can be compared
to that of computers during the last two decades. Not only speed but also sensitivity of …

Early diagnosis of lung cancer results in improved survival compared to diagnosis with more
advanced disease. Early disease is not reliably indicated by symptoms. Because …

Lung cancer remains the most common cause of cancer related death in both the UK and
USA. Development of diagnostic approaches that have the ability to detect lung cancer early …

Breath analysis for the purpose of non-invasive diagnosis of lung cancer has yielded
numerous candidate compounds with still questionable clinical relevance. To arrive at …

One of the main causes of the high mortality rate in lung cancer is the late-stage tumor
detection. Early diagnosis is therefore essential to increase the chances of obtaining an …

This paper outlines the design and performance of an observational study on the profiles of
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the breath of 37 lung cancer patients and 23 healthy …

We present a review of the main results achieved by various research groups in the studies
on identifying biomarkers of lung cancer among volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in …

Aim: The purpose of this study was to estimate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) ability to
distinguish exhaled breath samples of lung cancer patients and healthy volunteers and to …

Volatile organic compounds are able to be detected in the exhaled breath by a variety of
sensing techniques. These volatiles may be produced by cellular metabolic processes, or …

Results collected in more than 20 years of studies suggest a relationship between the
volatile organic compounds exhaled in breath and lung cancer. However, the origin of these …
