About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether patterns of chemicals in breath could help find cancer early. It is for adults with any type of cancer who have not started treatment or have been off cancer treatment for more than one month.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether volatile organic compound (VOC) signatures detected in the breath of patients with cancer can serve as a potential screening tool for the early detection of cancer.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
