Advancing Lung Cancer Diagnosis through NH2-MON-SPME-GC-MS/MS: Enhanced Sensitivity in Aldehyde Biomarker Detection from Exhaled Breath

The sensitive detection of trace biomarkers in exhaled breath for lung cancer diagnosis represents a critical area of research in life analytical chemistry, with profound implications for early disease detection, therapeutic intervention, and prognosis monitoring. Despite its potential, the analytical process faces significant challenges due to the ultratrace levels of disease biomarkers present and the complex, high-humidity composition of exhaled breath. This study introduces a highly sensitive method for detecting aldehyde biomarkers in exhaled breath by integrating the use of amino-functionalized microporous organic networks (NH
