Indoor Air Pollution Increases the Risk of Lung Cancer.

(1) Background: Cooking and burning incense are important sources of indoor air pollutants. No studies have provided biological evidence of air pollutants in the lungs to support this association. Analysis of pleural fluid may be used to measure the internal exposure dose of air pollutants in the lung.

The investigation of the volatile metabolites of lung cancer from the microenvironment of malignant pleural effusion.

For malignant pleural effusions, pleural fluid cytology is a diagnostic method, but sensitivity is low. The pleural fluid contains metabolites directly released from cancer cells. The objective of this study was to diagnose lung cancer with malignant pleural effusion using the volatilomic profiling method.

A Study of Diagnostic Accuracy Using a Chemical Sensor Array and a Machine Learning Technique to Detect Lung Cancer.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death around the world, and lung cancer screening remains challenging. This study aimed to develop a breath test for the detection of lung cancer using a chemical sensor array and a machine learning technique. We conducted a prospective study to enroll lung cancer cases and non-tumour controls between 2016 and 2018 and analysed alveolar air samples using carbon nanotube sensor arrays.
