  Introduction: Early diagnosis of cancer can dramatically increase healing probability. However many cancer detection methods are time-consuming, invasive, and require skilled medical staff and/or expensive detection systems. Cervical cancer is the fourth most common malignant disease among women, and the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. Aim: This pilot study sought to identify reliable biomarkers indicative of early stages of cervical dysplasia, by analysis of changes in volatile organic compound composition in urine samples. Methods: Urine samples of 17 patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN I) and of 9 healthy female subjects were used. The sample composition was analyzed using Gas-Chromatography-Mass-Spectrometry. The statistical analysis of the data was performed using sup.. Read More»
