UT Dallas Researchers Develop Breath Test Biosensor for Lung Cancer Detection
Researchers at University of Texas at Dallas have developed a novel electrochemical biosensor combined with artificial intelligence that can detect eight volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath potential biomarkers for thoracic cancers such as lung and esophageal cancer. In initial testing with 67 patients (including 30 confirmed cancer cases), the device accurately identified the biomarkers in 90 % of confirmed cases, offering a promising non-invasive, low-cost screening tool which could one day be used in primary care settings.
