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 ...
Ants can detect the scent of cancer in urine, scientists have found. Several types of cancer have been found to alter urine smell but experts have, for the first time, found ants to have this ...
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 ...
Bees have been shown to detect and respond to more than 60 different odours including methamphetamine, uranium, and tuberculosis. They have been used to detect lung and skin cancers, diabetes, and to confirm pregnancy. [2] It is not known if they can detect potential seizures in humans.
Scientists are studying Peyo's potential ability to detect cancer in humans and reduce a patient's anxiety. Additional brain imaging research has indicated that aspects of Peyo's neurological ...
Cancer research with dogs has helped in the design of clinical trials for cancer therapy for humans. In the spirit of the One Health movement (global collaborative research on human and animal health) such human-animal connections in cancer research could benefit both humans and animals with cancer in the future.

The most common types of cancer differ, but the cancer burden seems at least as high in pets as in humans. Animals, typically rodents, are often used in cancer research and studies of natural cancers in larger animals may benefit research into human cancer. [267] Across wild animals, there is still limited data on cancer.
The canine nose is a marvel of nature. Science believes that a computerized model will save millions of lives. The post Meet the Dogs That Can Sniff Out Cancer appeared first on Reader's Digest.
