Abstract:
The incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing year by year in China, early screening and prevention is the key to improve the prognosis, but there is no ideal screening tool now. Non-invasive breath analysis based on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has received much attention in recent years as a non-invasive diagnostic tool for a variety of cancers, including colorectal cancer. This article reviewed the current research status of the correlation between VOCs and colorectal cancer, aiming to evaluate the potential value of VOCs in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer, and provide theoretical basis for the exploration of early diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
