Brief Summary: The goal of this prospective observational study is to compare the exhaled breath profiles of patient with invasive breast cancer and control subjects in the perspective of a diagnostic application in oncology

The main question it aims to answer is whether the exhaled breath profile of breast cancer patients can be discriminate from the exhaled breath of control subjects

Participants to the study are recruited in a first discovery series including about 500 subjects and in a following independent validation series including more than 400 subjects Breath samples are collected in a dedicated room using sampling bags and following anti-Covid-19 measures Only authorized personnel could access the sampling room which was equipped with a HEPA Filter air purification system Sampling bags are made of Nalophan tubular foil and 2 taps one in which the study participant inflated with their breath and sealed after use while the second is used to introduce breath samples into the analyzer Bags are sterilized with the Sterrad system with H2O2 vapors before use To contain the potentially infectious particulate included in the participant exhaled breath an electrostatic filter is mounted on the tap of the bag used to inflate it with breath All participants are supplied with a leaflet explaining aims and technicalclinical information of the study At each breath sampling study participants are asked not to smoke eat drink except for water brush their teeth or use lipstick for at least 2 h before breath collection to minimize the presence of contaminant molecules in exhaled breath

Breath profiling is performed by mass spectrometry analysis using an untargeted approach Breath samples are profiled by Secondary Electrospray ionization - High resolution Mass Spectrometry SESI-HR-MS using a high resolution instrumentation LTQ Orbitrap EliteThermo Fisher Scientific equipped with a SuperSESI ionization source Fossiliontech

Data analysis is based on our previous work Martínez-Lozano el al 2015 J Breath Res 9031001 and will be implemented with machine learning and other Artificial Intelligence AI methods

Once all the breath profiles will be collected and analysed researchers will compare data from patient with breast cancer and data from tumor-free subjects to identify methods and patterns able to specifically identify the pathological breath samples and discriminate them from the control breath samples
