Volatile organic metabolites identify patients with gastric carcinoma, gastric ulcer, or gastritis and control patients
Abstract Background Gastric cancer ranks 4th among the most common cancers worldwide, and the mortality caused by gastric cancer is 2nd only to lung cancer. Gastric cancer shows a lack of specific symptoms in its early stages. In addition, its clinical symptoms often do not match the corresponding s...
