Primary Objective: 1\. To evaluate the sensitivity of the SpotitEarly test for breast cancer detection in women Secondary Objectives: 1. To evaluate the performance of the SpotitEarly in various subgroups. 2. To evaluate the performance of the SpotitEarly test in detecting early-stage cancer (stages 0-2). 3. To assess whether the performance of the SpotitEarly test is affected by psychological impacts (e.g. anxiety) related to the biopsy procedure. Exploratory Objective: 1\. To evaluate the test-retest reliability of SpotitEarly's test.
The goal of this study is to find out whether a system that uses trained detection dogs and artificial intelligence (AI) can identify breast cancer from a person's breath. Women who are scheduled to have screening breast cancer screening, or a biopsy for a possible cancer, will be invited to take part. Participants will be asked to breathe into a surgical mask to collect a breath sample. The mask will be sent to a special laboratory, where trained dogs and an AI-based system will check the sample for signs of breast cancer. The results from the dogs and AI will be compared to the actual results from the medical screening or biopsy to see how accurate the system is at detecting breast cancer.

Sensitivity and specifically of the SpotitEarly testing in each of the subgroups
Age: under 40, 40-49, 50-64, 65 and older. Race: White, Black/African American, Asian and Pacific Islander, Native American/ Alaska Native, more than one race. Germline pathogenic variant carriers associated with high risk for breast cancer (BRCA1, BRCA2, PTEN, TP53, CDH1, STK11) versus non-carriers. Smoking status: smokers versus non-smokers. Women with type-2 diabetes versus women who were not diagnosed with the disease.
Time frame: 12 months
Sensitivity of the SpotitEarly test in detecting early-stage cancer among breast cancer-positive samples
he test's specificity and its confidence interval (CI) will be analyzed in the following subgroups: Negative non-benign samples in Arm 1. All benign samples in Arm 1. Benign samples in Arm 1 of participants with a BI-RADS® score of 4B or above. Benign samples in Arm 2.
Time frame: 24 months
