AI Summary

Researchers at Griffith University used exhaled breath to help doctors tell whether lung nodules are cancerous or benign. The study evaluated two complementary technologies—a breath‑sensing eNose and gas‑chromatography mass spectrometry (GC‑MS)—and found both promising for non‑invasive triage. The findings, published in MedComm, could support earlier lung‑cancer diagnosis and reduce the need for invasive procedures. The work follows the fact that about 2.5 million new lung‑cancer cases are diagnosed each year.
