Canine cancer detection is an approach to cancer screening that relies upon the claimed olfactory ability of dogs to detect, in urine or in breath, very low concentrations of the alkanes and aromatic compounds generated by malignant tumors. While some research has been promising, no verified studies by secondary research groups have ...
New research presented at the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology's annual meeting in Orlando, Florida, suggests that dog's highly evolved sense of smell can identify cancer in ...
At present, research has shown that dogs can detect melanoma, lung, ovarian, prostate, colorectal and breast cancer. And as of 2024, a new project is underway to train dogs to detect bowel cancer . 6.
The Medical Detection Dogs charity has already trained dogs to detect prostate and bladder cancers, and now it’s training them to sniff out colon cancer from urine samples. It’s hoped that ...

A variety of diseases can decrease a dog's sense of smell, such as canine distemper and nasal mites. Dogs have an enhanced sense of smell when fed a high-fat, low-protein diet. There are a number of theories ...
The first study on trained dogs used for the detection of cancer was published by Willis et al. in 2004, observing that dogs were capable of detecting bladder cancer from urine samples. [20] Subsequently, in 2004, Pickel et al. confirmed that dogs were able to successfully diagnose melanoma. [20]
Dogs can smell explosives like landmines, and detect medical conditions including seizures, diabetes, and many forms of cancer -- with up to 98% accuracy. Inventor Andreas Mershin wants to ...
There are many different factors which influence a dogs ability to successfully determine the directionality of a track. The age, sex, [1] and even personality [12] of a dog can greatly influence tracking behaviour. Male dogs have been described to more accurately determine the direction of a trail than female dogs. [1]
