“…Next to spectrometric analysis, VOCs can be detected by sensor technology [electronic noses (eNoses)] that recognizes the bulk of VOCs as a breath print, but without identifying individual VOCs. Using eNoses, HNSCC patients could be differentiated from controls with sensitivities and specificities ranging between 77–90% and 80–90%, respectively, underlining the difference in breath print and their use as diagnostic tool ( 40 , 41 , 43 ). Also, eNoses have shown to be promising for differential diagnosis, in which the breathprint of HNSCC patients was different from those with lung cancer, colon cancer and bladder cancer with, respectively, 85, 79, and 80% sensitivity and 84, 81, and 86% specificity ( 45 , 49 , 54 ).…”
