Application of an electronic nose in the diagnosis of head and neck cancer

Electronic nose (E‐nose) technology has various applications such as the monitoring of air quality and the detection of explosive and chemical agents. We studied the diagnostic accuracy of volatile organic compounds (VOC) pattern analysis in exhaled breath by means of an E‐nose in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
