Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10600502/
Sputum induction is a technique that covers the induction and the subsequent processing of the expectorate primarily for the analysis of cells and different inflammatory biomarkers present in the airways.
Application of sputum fluid phase to assess the biomarkers could be used more routinely in pathologic laboratories for diagnosing lung cancer, COPD, and asthma, as well as for monitoring lung cancer progression.
