Research led by György Horvath MD,PhD of the Göteborg University Hospital proved that trained dogs detect cancer through scent.
The research was focused mainly on ovarian cancer in all stages, including borderline tumors and the results were that most common ovarian carcinomas are characterized by a single specific odor.
The research makes sense if we consider that the high mortality rate associated with ovarian cancer is due to late diagnosis. Trained dogs could be used to detect ovarian cancer in its early stages.
There is already evidence that dogs can detect other types of cancer, such as melanoma, bladder, lung and breast cancer, but these previous researches were unable to identify whether the dogs responded to scents related to cancer or to the cancer itself.
In the research concerning ovarian cancer the dogs were trained to distinguish between different histopathological types of ovarian carcinomas. Blind tests showed 100% sensitivity and 97.5% specificity.
