Blowing away breast cancer: a breath test could spot the disease early
NCT ID NCT06512350
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a breath test can detect breast cancer in women aged 40 to 74. Researchers will collect breath samples from over 5,000 women before their standard biopsy or MRI and compare the chemical patterns between those found to have cancer and those who do not. The goal is to develop a non-invasive, easy screening tool that could help catch breast cancer earlier.
