Every year in the U.S.A., 99,000 men and 78,000 women develop lung cancer, and only 14% of them are still alive five years later. Fortunately, early detection and treatment can reduce the number of deaths. Clinical studies at Menssana Research, Inc. have shown that breath biomarkers accurately identify lung cancer, and this has been confirmed in a blinded replicated study.
