MesoBreath 3: Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds from mesothelioma cells and pleural effusions with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC_MS) and ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) Ghent University
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an asbestos-related disease with dismal prognosis. In order to improve early detection and management, breath analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as a new, non-invasive diagnostic tool is being explored in our ongoing MesoBreath studies. However, to increase the specificity of the diagnostig breath model, the aim of this MESOBREATH3 study is (I) to compare the VOCs emitted from different MPM ...
