Recent advances in human sweat metabolomics for lung cancer screening

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related mortality owing to the advanced stage it is usually detected because the available diagnostic tests are expensive and invasive; therefore, they cannot be used for general screening. To increase robustness of previous biomarker panels—based on metabolites in sweat samples—proposed by the authors, new samples were collected within different intervals (4 months and 2 years), analyzed at different...
