Abstract
BACKGROUND: Background: Fecal volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis has emerged as a promising non-invasive tool for detecting colorectal cancer (CRC). Despite its reported high diagnostic accuracy, clinical adoption is hindered due to issues like methodological variability, lack of standardization, and limited validation. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to address these challenges by evaluating the diagnostic performance of fecal VOC analysis and exploring its future potential.
