Abstract

Breast cancer represents a great challenge due to the context of gender, social and cultural aspects, as well as of the possibility of making accessible early detection methods. Currently, detection mostly relies on image tests (invasive procedures). However, due to new and numerous cases detected in young women, and detected in such advanced stages that only palliative care may be offered, there is opportunity to develop new, innovative and promising detection tests. In order to find solutions to the organizational process of tumor cells, and adapt them for early detection, biomimesis eases the development of new non-invasive approaches and innovative designs. Nowadays, the volatile organic compounds detection (also called volatolome) emitted by tumoral cells can be detected with the use of biological and/or artificial intelligent noses. This approach may represent a real opportunity for the early detection of cancer and several pathologies. There is no doubt that novel test for early detection of different diseases will be soon reality.
