Gastrointestinal (GI) diagnostic studies are pivotal in confirming, ruling out, diagnosing, or staging various diseases, including cancers. Following diagnosis, allocating time for discussions with the patient and providing informational resources is crucial. Diagnostic assessments of the GI tract often occur in outpatient settings like endoscopy suites or GI labs. Preparation for these tests may include dietary restrictions, fasting, liquid bowel preparations, laxatives, enemas, and the...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Breast cancer (BC) is a leading cause of cancer death in women globally.
  • Early tumor detection is crucial for improving BC survival rates and reducing mortality.
  • Current screening methods can be invasive or costly, necessitating development of accessible alternatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a non-invasive, low-cost screening method for early breast cancer detection.
  • To utilize exhaled breath (EB) analysis with an electronic nose for BC screening.
  • To achieve a robust, accurate, and reliable diagnostic tool for routine screening.

Main Methods:

  • Collected exhaled breath samples from 267 women (131 BC patients, 136 healthy controls).
  • Analyzed samples using a commercial electronic nose, followed by signal processing and feature extraction.
  • Optimized a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model using Monte Carlo cross-validation (100 iterations, 20% data split).

Main Results:

  • The optimized SVM model achieved 88% accuracy, 94% precision, 80% recall, and 95% specificity on the validation set.
  • Analysis of 22 unknown samples yielded an overall accuracy, precision, and specificity of 91%.
  • The electronic nose approach demonstrated significant potential for differentiating breast cancer patients from healthy individuals.

Conclusions:

  • Exhaled breath analysis using an electronic nose presents a promising non-invasive, low-cost method for early breast cancer detection.
  • The developed SVM model shows high reliability and accuracy, supporting its potential integration into routine screening protocols.
  • Further validation in larger cohorts is warranted to confirm the clinical utility of this breath-based diagnostic approach.
