Yes, the use of VOCs for cancer detection is a burgeoning area of research. Scientists are exploring the potential of using the unique VOC profiles, or "volatilome," emitted by cancer cells as a diagnostic tool. This can be done through breath analysis, where specific VOCs associated with types of cancer, like lung and breast cancer, are identified. Studies suggest that breath tests could become a non-invasive, cost-effective method for early cancer detection, though more research and validation are necessary.
