Dog's can smell cancer...

Overall, the dogs correctly selected the bladder cancer urine on 22 out of 54 occasions.

This success rate of 41% was significantly more than the 14% that could be expected by chance alone.

Also, all of the dogs indicated one of the "bladder cancer free" samples as positive. This patient had been investigated prior to the study and no tumour had been found.

The patient's doctor was sufficiently concerned by the dogs' behaviour to do further tests.

These revealed a tumour in the patient's right kidney which had escaped diagnosis by usual medical tests.

Interesting stuff...

Wow. Its pretty amazing that they treated a guy who wasn't diagnosed with cancer using traditional means, but was diagnosed using the dog.

 

[Dr. Dastardly]

Just another reason why I like dogs more than cats.

 

[BornAgainMac]

Wow! My dog the doctor. And my cat is already my lawyer.

Next time your dog tries to sniff a stranger's crotch and embarrasses you, just tell the guest that your dog is checking for cancer.

So does that my dog is always checking other dogs for rectal cancer?

 

[NusuniAdmin]

is that why my dog is always sniffing my crotch....ohhh the pain! *falls over dead*

My dog can always seem to tell when my g/f is on her period. He just starts acting funny, and won't stop nuzzling her crotch when she's on it.

Weird.....

I believe that's a rather natural thing that happens, seriously, with most dogs and female humans.

I know, it's just interesting to see the theory in action.

Our dogs have always been more more interested in my wife's underwear. Recently it's the one that likes to lick her injuries.
