Local scientists research new method to “sniff out” prostate cancer with the help of dogs
Feb. 25, 2021 at 6:00 am
With the help of man’s best friend, scientists at the Prostate Cancer Foundation in Santa Monica have proven that a dog’s nose can be an accurate early detector for prostate cancer.
The implications of their recently released study are enormous as prostate cancer is one of the biggest killers for men in the US.
The team of researchers from the PCF, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Johns Hopkins University, and Medical Detection Dogs in the UK seek to use findings from this study to eventually develop a “robotic dog nose” potentially taking the form of a smartphone app that detects prostate cancer from urine samples.
