Personalized medicine, in the near future, has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by allowing physicians to individualize therapy for patients through the early diagnosis of disease and risk assessment to optimize clinical response with minimal toxicity. The identification of biomarkers could detect, diagnose and help guide therapy to improve survival and quality of life by the early identification of responders to the drugs. Volatile organic compounds and stable isotope-labeled (CO2)-C-13 in breath can be uniquely utilized as in vivo diagnostic biomarkers of disease and/or lack of enzyme activity to aid physicians to personalize medication. Noninvasive detection of ailments and monitoring therapy by human breath analysis is an emerging field of medical diagnostics representing a rapid, economic and simple alternative to standard invasive blood analysis, endoscopy or harmful imaging techniques such as x-ray and CT scans.
