Cancer is one of the most dreaded diseases pet owners and veterinarians must contend with. While data are frustratingly sparse, there is no doubt that cancer is common in dogs, with estimates ranging from 25% to 40% of dogs likely to have a cancer diagnosis at some time in their life. ...
Medical detection dogs can alert physicians to the presence of cancer odors in a sample – even samples that contain very low concentrations.Canine cancerdetection has been successfully used to detect melanoma, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, and breast ...
Dogs have fifty times as many scent receptors as humans, or about 300,000 of them. And unlike people, dogs have a second scent organ located on the bottom of the nasal passage called the vomeronasal or Jacobson’s organ, to aid in detecting even more scents. TRAINING MEDICAL DETECTION DOG...
Well, that might not be too far fetched in the future, as from 2008 onwards, researchers led by György Horvath MD, PhD, discovered that dogs could be trained to literally sniff out cancer. Their study showed specially trained canines being capable of telling different types and grades ...
Early detection of cancer is the single most important factor for successful treatment. Many cancers may be managed with chemotherapy and this can reduce the severity of clinical signs and add quality to your dog’s life. Many dogs debilitated and who have undergone surgery benefit from dog food...
A urinalysis may then be done to see if there is blood in the dog's urine. If there is, x-rays can be taken to see if there are stones in the bladder, and if not, an ultrasound can be done to allow early detection of bladder tumors. ...
An introduction is presented in which the authors discuss various reports within the issue on topics including the utilization of laboratory diagnostics in cancer medicine, the gap between classical diagnostic methods and canine olfactory detection, and the pharmacogenetics for treating cance...
