Detecting Ovarian Cancer by Analyzing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in Human Breath

Status: Recruiting

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of a device (Vocxi Health’s MyBreath Print®) to capture and measure volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath samples from women who have a pelvic mass and will be having surgery. The ultimate goal is to develop a screening test for ovarian cancer. We expect that study will take approximately 45 minutes and breath samples will be obtained before and after surgery.

I'm interested
