Identification of Olfactory Biomarkers of Skin Cancer From Skin Odor Samples: a Pilot Study

Sponsor: Association pour la Recherche Clinique et Immunologique

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The aim of this research is to determine which volatile organic compounds (odors) are associated with different skin cancers. To this end, odor samples will be taken from various parts of the body, from patients with skin cancers and from "healthy" subjects who have no skin cancer. The various samples collected will be analyzed in the laboratory, and compared with each other, to determine whether there is a specific "smell" for the main types of skin cancer.
