The peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids is a widely recognized metabolic process that
creates a complex mixture of volatile organic compounds including aldehydes. Elevated …

Breath analysis provides great potential as a fast and non-invasive diagnostic tool for
several diseases. Straight-chain aliphatic aldehydes were repeatedly detected in the breath …

There is experimental evidence that volatile substances in human breath can reflect
presence of neoplasma. Volatile aldehydes were determined in exhaled breath of 12 lung …

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 …

A number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been identified and used in
preliminary clinical studies of the early diagnosis of lung cancer. The aim of this study was to …

Volatile compounds contained in human breath reflect the inner workings of the body. A
large number of studies have been published that link individual components of breath to …

In this study, single-lung ventilation was used to detect differences in the volatile organic
compound (VOCs) profiles between lung tissues in healthy and affected lungs. In addition …

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 …

In recent years, breath analysis in real time has become a noninvasive alternative for the
diagnosis of diseases and for molecular fingerprinting of exhaled breath. However, the …

In recent years, there has been an extensive search for a non-invasive screening technique
for early detection of lung cancer. Volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis in exhaled …
