Lung Cancer Detection From Exhaled Breath, Cleveland Clinic Study

Metabolomx, a diagnostic company focused on the detection of the metabolomics signature of cancer from exhaled breath, announces publication of results from the first clinical study demonstrating a breath test that can both detect lung cancer and differentiate between types of lung cancer in humans. This seminal study, conducted at the Cleveland Clinic and led by Dr. Peter Mazzone, used Metabolomx’ first-generation colorimetric sensor array, and reported accuracy exceeding 80% in lung cancer detection, comparable to computerized tomography (CT) scan.
