Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), produced and emitted through the metabolism of cancer cells or the body's immune system, are considered novel cancer biomarkers for diagnostic purposes. Of late, a large number of work has been done to find a relationship between VOCs' signature of body and cancer. Cancer-related VOCs can be used to detect several types of cancers at the earlier stages which in turn provide a significantly higher chance of survival. Here we aim to provide an updated picture of cancer-related VOCs based on recent findings in this field focusing on cancer odor database.
挥发性有机化合物（VOCs）是通过癌细胞代谢或人体免疫系统产生并释放的，被认为是用于诊断目的的新型癌症生物标志物。近来，人们开展了大量工作来探寻VOCs的身体特征与癌症之间的关系。与癌症相关的VOCs可用于在早期阶段检测多种类型的癌症，进而显著提高患者的生存几率。在此，我们旨在基于该领域的最新研究成果，以癌症气味数据库为重点，提供一份关于与癌症相关的VOCs的最新情况概述。
