A study conducted by BioScentDx, researchers used the 'clicker training' technique to teach four hunting dogs to be able to distinguish healthy blood samples and from patients with malignant lung cancer. Although one dog could not carry out the experiment, the other three managed to correctly identify lung cancer samples from an accuracy of 96.7 percent to 97.5 percent over time.
Heather Junqueira, researcher from this study, said the findings could lead to other cancer screening tools that are important because early detection of cancer often means the chances of survival are getting bigger. "This is very interesting because it paves the way for further research that can lead to new cancer detection devices" she was quoted as saying by Fox News.
