Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Percent of patients that become nanoscale artificial nose negative within 3 years post-surgery
Successful evaluation of gas samples taken from lung cancer patients
Secondary outcome measures
Lead time between the transition from nanoscale artificial nose negativity to positivity and clinical recurrence
Percentage of patients who become nanoscale artificial nose negative within 3 years and recur within that time frame that will become nanoscale artificial nose positive before recurrence
Time to become nanoscale artificial nose negative post treatment
