TLDR
The data showed that 1-butanol and 3-hydroxy-2-butanone in breath could possibly be taken as useful breath biomarkers for discerning potential lung cancer patients and VOCs analysis could be used as a complementary test for the diagnosis of lung cancer.

Assessment, origin, and implementation of breath volatile cancer markers

TL;DR: This review presents a list of 115 validated cancer-related VOCs published in the literature during the past decade, and classify them with respect to their "fat-to-blood" and "blood- to-air" partition coefficients, which provide an estimation of the relative concentrations of V OCs in alveolar breath, in blood and in the fat compartments of the human body.

Selective Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering for Quantitative Detection of Lung Cancer Biomarkers in Superparticle@MOF Structure.

TL;DR: Gaseous aldehydes that are released as a result of tumor-specific tissue composition and metabolism, thereby acting as indicators of lung cancer, are guided onto SERS-active GSPs substrates through a ZIF-8 channel, demonstrating tremendous prospects for in vitro diagnoses of early stage lung cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Room-temperature mid-infrared single-photon spectral imaging

TL;DR: In this article, an upconversion system for field-deployable mid-infrared spectral imaging is presented, which provides a room-temperature dark noise of 0.2 photons per spatial element per second, a billion times below the dark noise level of cryogenically cooled cameras.

A nanomaterial-based breath test for distinguishing gastric cancer from benign gastric conditions.

TL;DR: The preliminary results of this pilot study could open a new and promising avenue to diagnose GC and distinguish it from other gastric diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exhaled breath analysis with a colorimetric sensor array for the identification and characterization of lung cancer.

TL;DR: A colorimetric sensor array is capable of identifying exhaled breath biosignatures of lung cancer and can be optimized by evaluating specific histologies and incorporating clinical risk factors.

Damage to DNA by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species: role in inflammatory disease and progression to cancer.

TL;DR: ROS and RNS could contribute to the initiation of cancer, in addition to being important in the promotion and progression phases, as evidence is growing that antioxidants may prevent or delay the onset of some types of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxyradicals and DNA damage

TL;DR: The levels of oxidative DNA damage reported in many human tissues or in animal models of carcinogenesis exceed the levels of lesions induced by exposure to exogenous carcinogenic compounds, and it seems likely that oxidativeDNA damage is important in the etiology of many human cancers.

Quantitative Analysis of Urine Vapor and Breath by Gas-Liquid Partition Chromatography

TL;DR: By this technique, the composition of body fluids can be made constant after a few days, permitting significant quantitative analyses to be performed, and should be useful in the application of the principles of orthomolecular medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Volatile organic compounds in breath as markers of lung cancer: a cross-sectional study.

TL;DR: A combination of 22 breath VOCs, predominantly alkanes, alkane derivatives, and benzene derivatives, discriminated between patients with and without lung cancer, regardless of stage.
