Detection of non-small cell lung cancer by an electronic nose

Conclusion: The data suggest that electronic nose technology with the Aeonose™ can have a substantial added value in the non-invasive diagnostic workup in NSCLC. Data collection is still ongoing. With more subjects added (N=350 expected), the model can in all likelihood be further improved to increase sensitivity and negative predictive value, so no patient is missed.
