A recent study was presented at the 2019 Experimental Biology Conference that was being held in Orlando, Florida, and it said that blood-sniffing dogs can detect cancer with nearly 97 percent accuracy.

Presenters said blood-sniffing dogs could change the detection field of Cancer.

Dogs have a smell accuracy that is 10,000 times better than humans smell accuracy. This means that a dog can detect a teaspoon of sugar that is present in 1 million gallons of water.

With that fact in your mind, trained lab dogs have succeeded to distinguish blood samples that belong to people who have cancer, and the accuracy percentage is really high.

With an accuracy of 96.7 percent, dogs can detect cancer better than the current cancer detection examinations we have and it could detect them earlier. This could possibly save millions of lives.

Another great thing about this is that it costs way less than traditional cancer detection tests.

In the study, 4 beagles were trained to differentiate blood samples that were from healthy people and for those who have malignant lung cancer.

The new research was done at the BioScentDx Laboratory and was led by Janqueira and her team.

During the research, 3 of the beagles brilliantly distinguished healthy blood samples and blood samples with cancer, and the accuracy rate was 96.7 percent.

The dedicated team of Janqueira is currently researching if blood-sniffing dogs could smell breast cancer in the blood.
