Abstract :

Human breath is composed of different substance that are capable of wasting away, or of easily passing into the aerioform state. These substances are called volatiles: Some volatiles are produces ate higher concentrations as a result of a disease. Therefore, we can use volatiles as biomarkers of certain diseases. The Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS) can measure volatiles in breath of cancer patients with the potential of screening and diagnosis early stages of disease, and assess tumor response to treatment.
