Read our Lung Cancer research guide →Researchers are exploring whether analyzing what you breathe out can help identify different lung diseases. This study will collect breath samples from 10,000 people—some with diagnosed lung conditions and some without—and use specialized equipment to look for chemical markers in the breath that might indicate specific lung diseases.
Current lung disease diagnosis often requires CT scans, blood tests, and other invasive procedures. This research aims to develop a simpler, non-invasive breath test that could potentially diagnose lung diseases faster and more affordably.

You would provide a breath sample, which researchers will analyze using specialized equipment to look for chemical markers. You may also need to allow researchers to access your existing CT scan images and medical records to compare with your breath test results. The study is observational, meaning researchers are mainly collecting and analyzing your breath sample rather than giving you a new treatment.
