Simulation scheme of the two main thermodynamic parameters responsible for the diffusion of cancer VOCs between “breath–blood–fat”: λf:b – partition coefficient between fat and blood, which simulates the diffusion of VOC from the (cancer or healthy) tissue to the blood; and λb:a – partition coefficient between blood and air, which simulates the diffusion of VOC from the blood to the exhaled air.
