Dogs sniff out bladder cancer in urine samples
NCT ID NCT07334314
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether specially trained dogs can detect bladder cancer by smelling urine samples. Researchers will collect urine from 340 adults scheduled for bladder surgery and see how often the dogs correctly identify cancer. If it works, this could lead to a simple, non-invasive screening method.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new, non-invasive way to screen for bladder cancer using trained dogs.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early study testing a novel approach. Dogs may not be consistent enough for widespread use, and results may not apply to all patients.
