New Cancer Screening is Doggone Amazing - In a study by the Pine Street Foundation in California, dogs trained to identify lung and breast cancers were found to be amazingly accurate. How do they do it? By smelling patient's breath.

In the study, dogs sniffed out 564 of 574 lung cancer cases according to a report in the March issue of Integrative Cancer Therapies. In a British study, dogs could sniff out bladder cancer through dried urine samples.

Ted Gansler, M.D., director of the medical content for the American Cancer Society says that if further studies prove this to be a successful screening, then the ability would have to be replicated in a science- based test. More studies are being done to see if dogs can distinguish between cancer and other diseases.
