N.B. company’s new breath test could change how breast cancers are detected

A Canadian company, Breathe BioMedical, has developed a breath test that detects signs of breast cancer by analyzing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath samples. The test aims to address limitations of traditional mammograms, particularly for women with dense breasts, who often experience lower accuracy rates. The study, conducted in partnership with healthcare networks in Moncton and Halifax, is currently limited to patients with suspicious mammogram results and requires further research to improve accuracy. While the test shows promise as a non-invasive alternative to current screening methods, it is not yet available to the general public.
