How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
  • Allocation: Non-Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: patients
Patients with bronchopulmonary cancer who have not yet received therapeutic treatment.
Device: Collection of volatile organic compounds during exhalation

The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are collected in sorbents at rest and at the end of exhalation according to the concentration of carbon dioxide using ReCIVA breath sampler.

The identification of the VOCs will be done by chromatography (Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry GC-MS)
Active Comparator: controls
The controls consisted of 2 groups: smokers and non-smokers.
