MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611022874 A) filed by Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, on Feb. 26, for 'a method and system for non-invasive breast cancer screening and early-risk detection based on analysis of volatile organic compounds from skin and breath.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Meenakshi Mishra; and Dr. Pankaj Kishor Mishra.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a non-invasive breast cancer screening and early-risk detection system based on analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from human skin and exhaled breath. Breast cancer induces metabolic alterations that generate characteristic VOC patterns, which can be detected prior to the appearance of anatomical abnormalities. The disclosed system collects VOCs using non-wearable sampling interfaces, preprocesses the collected data to remove environmental and physiological variability, and generates a multi-dimensional VOC signature. An artificial intelligence and machine-learning-based classification engine analyzes the VOC signature to identify cancer-associated metabolic patterns and produces a risk-stratified screening output, such as low, intermediate, or high risk. The invention operates without invasive procedures, ionizing radiation, imaging modalities, or physiological signal monitoring. By enabling painless, cost-effective, and accessible screening, the system is suitable for routine clinical use, community screening programs, and low-resource settings."
