(Difference) in smell-prints between patients with lung cancer AND breast cancer.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
In the present study we will examine the difference in VOC pattern of exhaled air between patients with histology-confirmed diagnoses of non small cell lung cancer vs breast cancer.
As secondary aims, we intend to confirm the potential of the electronic nose to distinguish the VOC patterns between patients with NSCLC and healthy controls and to assess its capacity to discriminate between women with and without breast cancer. We also aim to investigate whether the VOC pattern changes when resection of the lung cancer has been performed.
Finally, when the eNose demonstrates to be capable to distinguish the VOC patterns of patients with NSCLC and breast cancer, we will try to identify the distinct biomarkers in the exhaled breath samples of both groups by using gaschromatography and mass spectrometry (GC MS).
Study design:
Cross-sectional case-control study.
Patient recruitment on base of intention to diagnose: See study population.
At the Pulmonary Function Department each participant will follow this sequence:
1. Questionnaire;
2. Exhaled breath collection;
3. Spirometry.
Study population:
1. All women (18-80 yr) suspected of having breast cancer, referred to the OPD specialised in the diagnostic work-up of breast abnormalities in our hospital (¡°mamma poli¡±) will be asked to participate (intention-to-diagnose). 25 patients with histologically confirmed breast cancer without significant co-morbidity will be included in the analysis of the present study.
2. All patients (18-80 yr) suspected of having lung cancer, referred to the pulmonary OPD in our hospital will be asked to participate (intention-to-diagnose). 25 patients with histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer without significant co-morbidity will be included in the analysis of the present study.
3. 25 women without breast cancer, matched with breast cancer patients (above) for age and smoking history without significant co-morbidity, will be selected from the intention-to-diagnose cohort.
4. 25 healthy controls, matched with the NSCLC patients (above) for sex, age, and smoking history, will be recruited from visitors and personnel of our hospital, of course on voluntary base.
Doel van het onderzoek
We hypothesize that an electronic nose can discriminate the VOC pattern in exhaled breath between patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and breast cancer.
Onderzoeksopzet
Baseline measurement when they are seen for the first time at the outpatient department. In case of resection of tumor 2 and 6 weeks post-operative also a measurement.
