Pot câinii să miroasă cancerul? Metoda inedită de detectare bolii care ucide milioane de oameni

A research center near Bengaluru is training 15 dogs to detect cancer-related odors in human breath samples. The dogs wear custom harnesses equipped with sensors to monitor their breathing, brain activity, and movements while sniffing. AI analyzes the data to identify patterns in the dogs' responses. A recent study involving over 1,500 participants showed over 90% accuracy for detecting seven types of cancer, but independent experts stress the need for larger studies to confirm these results. The method involves patients breathing into a cotton mask, with samples sent to the lab without dog contact. The company aims for this approach to serve as an initial screening step for cancer detection.
