Volatile Organic Compounds of Malignant Breast Cancer Wounds: Identification and Odors.

In addition, these findings could pave the way to engineer new types of dressings and to develop an evaluation method to assess their efficiency both quantitatively and qualitatively as well as improve quality of palliative care and comfort for women with malignant wounds.
