In Clinical Trials, Breath Test for Lung Cancer Shows Promise for Earlier Detection

Pathologists may do fewer lung biopsies should non-invasive breath testing technology make it into clinical practice Here’s a medical laboratory test for diagnosing cancer that has the potential to score two runs with one swing of the bat. First, researchers have completed the first clinical trial of a non-invasive cancer test that utilizes a breath specimen. Second, the subject of this clinical trial was lung cancer—a type of cancer that would benefit from a pathology test that can detect the...
