Scientists and dogs sniff out breast Cancer's hidden scent
NCT ID NCT04541537
Summary
This study explored whether breast cancer has a unique smell that could be used for detection. Researchers collected odor samples from the hands, breasts, and tumors of 35 women undergoing breast cancer surgery using a special polymer. They also tested if trained dogs could identify cancer from these samples to see if a future 'scent test' for breast cancer is possible.
