Man’s Best Friend Sniffs Out Cancer

Pet owners know how important their pets are to the family. Well now the medical profession is learning how valuable dogs can be in detecting disease.

We all know dogs have extraordinary sense of smell. Humans have around 5 million olfactory cells in our noses. Dogs have approximately 200 million.

A new study found that specially trained dogs were able to detect prostate cancer from urine samples with 98% accuracy. These findings from Italian researchers were presented at the 109th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association in Orlando, Florida.

The data analysis of volatile organic compounds in urine shows a promising approach to cancer detection.  Other studies have shown how using animals can help for patients with diabetes, OCD and other cancers including bladder and ovarian cancer.
