Tampa Startup Partners with Moffitt to Revolutionize Lung Cancer Detection

Tampa-based Detect-ION is teaming up with Moffitt Cancer Center to revolutionize lung cancer detection. Their new pilot project uses advanced breath diagnostics to identify cancer early through non-invasive, point-of-care testing. The technology, originally developed for detecting chemical threats, could offer a quicker, more accessible way to diagnose lung cancer. Detect-ION's founder, Ashish Chaudhary, sees this as a major step toward broader applications, potentially detecting other cancers like prostate and liver.
