Pot câinii să detecteze cancerul? Povestea lui Keto și cercetările Institutului Curie arată cum mirosul canin poate identifica semnale asociate tumorilor – Aleph News

Keto, a family dog, has alerted to cancer in two family members over the years, prompting scientific research into dogs' detection abilities. Initially, Keto showed unusual behavior before Ben's colon cancer diagnosis, and later indicated Chase's breast cancer by persistently nudging her left breast. French researchers are studying whether dogs can be trained to detect cancer through their sense of smell, as tumors produce unique chemical signatures. The KDOG project aims to validate this potential, with initial results showing trained dogs correctly identifying cancerous samples. However, while promising, canine detection cannot replace traditional medical tests.
