Abstract:Lung cancer (LC) was the most commonly cancer and had the highest mortality in the world.
However, most patients with LC were diagnosed at an advanced stage, thus couldn’t grasp a more treatable
stage. Studies showed that the combination of early diagnosis and timely treatment can improve the 5-year
survival rate. Therefore the effective method for early diagnosis of LC was urgent needs. Low-dose CT scan
and X-ray were by far widely used to early diagnose LC in clinical. These methods did contribute to the early
detection of LC, but due to effect of radiation, it would increase the risk of canceration. As a non-invasive and
rapid method, exhaled breath detection is a very promising technology and has definite clinical application
value in the early diagnosis of LC.
