Detecting cancer thanks to ... dogs

Dogs can detect whether someone has cancer by sniffing the person's breath, a new study says.

It only takes a few weeks of basic training, normal watchdogs can detect both early lung cancer and breast cancer just by sniffing the patient's breath.

The study was carried out by the Pine Street Foundation in San Anselmo, California and published in a specialized journal.

Michael McCulloch, head of the research team, said their research provides 'evidence that cancers hidden inside the skin can be detected simply by checking the patient's breath through dogs'.

Patients with lung cancer and breast cancer are thought to radiate specific biochemical components in their breath.

It is hoped that dogs, known as human best friends, will become an important tool in the early detection and detection of cancer, which can significantly improve the cure's chances. multiply.
