Introduction The pattern of exhaled breath volatile organic compounds represents a
metabolic biosignature with the potential to identify and characterize lung cancer. Breath …

Medical diagnosis and phenotyping increasingly incorporate information from complex
biological samples. This has promoted the development and clinical application of non …

Abstract Analysis of exhaled breath samples reveals the presence of many volatile organic
compounds (VOCs). The VOC composition of the breath, the so-called breath profile …

The direct analysis of molecules contained within human breath has had significant
implications for clinical and diagnostic applications in recent decades. However, attempts to …

We aimed at defining profiles of volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath from patients
with cystic fibrosis (CF) using a novel real-time mass spectrometry technique. In this …

Study objectives To evaluate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the breath as tumor
markers in lung cancer. Alkanes and monomethylated alkanes are oxidative stress products …

Background Human breath contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are biomarkers
of breast cancer. We investigated the positive and negative predictive values (PPV and …

On-line analysis of exhaled breath offers insight into a person's metabolism without the need
for sample preparation or sample collection. Due to its noninvasive nature and the possibility …

Most of the currently used diagnostics for cancerous diseases have yet to meet the
standards of screening, as they are insufficiently accurate and/or invasive and risky. In this …

Breath analysis has received attention as a noninvasive diagnostic tool with increasing
research into its potential usefulness. We are investigating the utility of the analysis of breath …
