Summary

This pilot study explores whether a breath sample collected with the VosCryo device can provide enough cellular material to help diagnose advanced lung cancer. Researchers will compare breath samples from 12 people with late-stage lung cancer and 12 healthy relatives to see if the samples can tell the difference between cancerous and non-cancerous states. If successful, this could pave the way for a simple, non-invasive breath test for lung cancer detection.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple, non-invasive breath test to help detect lung cancer, potentially enabling earlier diagnosis.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 24 participants, so results may not be generalizable. The breath sample may not contain enough usable cells for reliable analysis.
