Lung cancer has the highest morbidity and mortality among malignant tumors worldwide. The cure rate of lung cancer is high for early diagnosis, thus “early diagnosis and early treatment” has become a consensus. Exhaled gas detection has many advantages including non-invasive detection, convenient sampling and friendly to human body. The biomarkers for early lung cancer might be found through measurement of characteristic metabolites in exhaled gas. Therefore, it is expected to be a simple and effective method of early lung cancer screening, which has attracted lots of attentions. This review summarizes the research progress of early lung cancer screening technology based on detection of exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including the common clinical screening methods for lung cancer, the exhaled gas components and characteristic VOCs of lung cancer, the collection and pretreatment methods for exhaled VOCs, and the detection techniques for characteristic VOCs of lung cancer. The problems of exhaled gas detection in early lung cancer screening and their future research orientations are also discussed.
