Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath originate from current or previous
environmental exposures (exogenous compounds) and internal metabolic (anabolic and …

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are produced by virtually all metabolic processes of the
body. As such, they have potential to serve as noninvasive metabolic biomarkers. Since …

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 …

It is current opinion that the composition of breath contains information which enables the
detection of a number of different diseases. Even if there is no clear explanation about the …

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 …

The aim of the present study was to investigate the ability of breath analysis to distinguish
lung cancer (LC) patients from patients with other respiratory diseases and healthy people …

Exhaled breath contains thousands of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of which the
composition varies depending on health status. Various metabolic processes within the …

The analysis of volatile biomarkers of disease in breath is attractive because breath analysis
is non-invasive and quick, and allows for repeated sampling. Challenges faced in the …

Exhaled breath analysis has the potential to provide valuable insight on the status of various
metabolic pathways taking place in the lungs locally and other vital organs, via systemic …

To investigate the premise that levels of endogenous volatile organic compounds (VOC) in
breath reflect those in blood, the concentration of acetone and isoprene were measured in …
