“Our study provides compelling evidence that cancers hidden beneath the skin can be detected simply by [dogs] examining the odors of a person's breath.”
“We actually don't know what the dogs are smelling. But we do know that cancers have breakdown products - cocktails of compounds - and these smell different to a dog than normal cells.”
“What is it dogs are smelling, and can chemical analysis match the dogs in terms of specificity and sensitivity? Then the pathway will likely lead to an ?electronic nose.”
“We hope that our study will stimulate continued interest in researching the potential benefits of combining Chinese herbal therapy with conventional therapies for people with cancer.”
