Oncologists at the Netherlands Cancer Institute “hypothesized that molecular profiling of exhaled air may capture the inflammatory milieu related to the individual responsiveness to anti-programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1) therapy. This study aimed to determine the accuracy of exhaled breath analysis at baseline for assessing nonresponders versus responders to anti-PD-1 therapy in NSCLC patients.”  The electronic nose had greater accuracy than the current method of immunohistochemistry.  MORE
