Abstract

The main milestones in the exploration and validation of cancer breathprint for the advancement of personalised diagnosis and medicine are summarised here, with a special attention to the appraisal and translation of the accumulating knowledge from the laboratory to the Point-of-Care phase. An outlook into the opportunities of the use of breathprints and their wider availability for healthcare is offered.
