Abstract

ABSTRACTA review of literature published between January and July 2013 was undertaken to explore the findings relating to the viability of the use of dogs to detect the presence of cancer in human subjects. It was found that a significant percentage of the dogs used in the studies could successfully detect the presence of cancer biomarkers in urine or exhaled breath. The review explores and discusses the methodology of training the dogs, the viability of the cancer research, ethics and the types of cancer that dogs are being trained to detect.
