The Brilliant Capability of Dogs in Silent Cancer Detection
Manage episode 312247702 series 3231209
In Episode 116 of The People's Scientist podcast, I share some case reports and studies in which dogs accurately detect the presence of several types of cancer based on urine, breath, and body odor samples from humans. Dogs are brilliant animals with advanced olfactory systems. It appears that cancer cells may emit organic volatile compounds that are undetectable to humans but detectable to dogs. Dogs may be particularly helpful for the silent forms of cancer that go unnoticed until later stages. Early detection is of key importance for patient outcomes. Do our future medical exams include dogs assessing us for cancer? Tune in for the details!
