Differential volatile signatures from skin, naevi and melanoma: a novel approach to detect a pathological process.

Early detection of melanoma is of great importance to reduce mortality. Discovering new melanoma biomarkers would improve early detection and diagnosis. Here, we present a novel approach to detect volatile compounds from skin.We used Head Space Solid Phase Micro-Extraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromato...
