Abstract:

Active lung cancer tumor cells outgas metabolic byproducts that have been shown to be detectable in breath. The colorimetric sensor image array is a novel technique for lung cancer breath test, which has hundreds of distinct receptor types and capable of discriminating a wide range of odorants. In this study, we propose a statistical modeling strategy with semi-supervised learning that utilizes both the image array data and the clinical data to identify subtypes of lung cancer and uses this knowledge to diagnose future patients. A real data analysis is presented and we show that the diagnostic procedure accurately predicts the cancer type.
