As we are progressing studies show that dogs can detect volatile organic compounds in the urine of men with prostate cancer. One such study showed that the animals could sniff out prostate cancer with 98 percent accuracy. A scientist has identified the molecules that likely give the urine of men with prostate cancer its unique scent, and they have developed a chemical sniff test to detect them. Now, researchers at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis has been developing a sensor to detect hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in human breath and now reserching out chemical substance in the urine of prostatic cancer patients which can be sniffed by a human-like dog.
For their study, the team tested urine samples collected from 100 men who were undergoing prostate biopsies. The researchers noted that some previous studies had experienced problems with chemical degradation. Thus,…
