New cancer biomarkers discovered in breath using 2D GC and TOF MS

Novel predictive biomarkers for cancer have been identified in breath by researchers at Imperial College London (ICL), UK, using 2D gas chromatography with TOF MS. The technique enabled them to detect compounds they had not previously seen in breath samples.
