| Abstract |
As lung cancer in its progress has no major symptoms other than coughing and phlegm, it is hard to diagnose, and also it has the highest mortality rate compared to other cancers, so early diagnosis and treatment is very important. This research is to develop a non-invasive device to diagnose lung cancer early which utilizes ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) to analyze exhaled breath. Early diagnosis can be achieved by analyzing the change in specific biomarkers found in exhaled breath of lung cancer patients out of various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath. The device in this research is convenient, highly sensitive, provides fast analysis and low false diagnosis. The device aims to lower lung cancer deaths and lower the society's economic burden caused by lung cancer. |
