In article number 1900131, Hossam Haick and co‐workers report a new route for cross talk between cancer cells that occurs, even when they are far away from each other. The cross talk relies on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are generated by the cancer cell and exchanged with the cells that are found in their vicinity or at long distances.
