Previously this ability was only discovered in dogs that I unmistakably urine samples of cancer people.
As you know, cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases in the world. The reason for that is the lack of effective drugs against the deadly disease.
At the same time, chemotherapy, along with modern techniques as the practice of medicine, can significantly prolong the patient’s life, to stop the spread of cancer cells, and in rare cases even destroy them.
The probability of success depends on at what stage treatment is begun. In this regard, researchers pay much attention to the development of new diagnostic tools to detect cancer at an early stage of development.
Since at this stage the symptoms appear rarely, it is believed that identifying it is possible only through laboratory analyses of biological samples of the patient. This procedure is complicated and expensive.
In addition, many people simply do not want to refer to the specialized agencies, hoping that the threat of cancer will not affect them. To simplify the process of diagnosing the cancer at an early stage, he will be in the near future. Scientists believe it is possible to recognize cancer by smell. For the first time about a similar method of talking, when it turned out that dogs, as animals with a keen sense of smell, able to distinguish the urine of a sick and healthy person. Tests showed that in 93% of cases quadruped gave the correct answer.
The study focused on prostate cancer, however, it is believed that dogs can recognize the smell and other types of cancer. However, it may not be necessary as recently revealed that this ability can possess people. American joy Malk from San Francisco said that he knows the smell of cancer. The woman had worked for 20 years in Oncology, and learned, according to her statement, to recognize the odor of dangerous disease. And for that, she doesn’t have to smell someone else’s urine. It is enough to study a person’s breath.
To test her words, the scientists took her to the INSITU Foundation Foundation in Chico, California, where they are developing new cancer diagnostics. It produced used 10 medical masks, mixed together. Five of them were breathing with cancer people, the other five were used healthy patients. The woman correctly identified three of the five instances.
She noted that all of them were “plum and yeasty” smell. This gives grounds to believe that the average person really just can find cancer. Currently actively working in this direction. Scientists are developing breath analyzers that detect chemical elements in the air, confirming the presence of disease. It is supposed that thus it will be possible to recognize cancer of the prostate, colon, pancreas and bladder.
