<\/span>Now the laboratory is turning its attention to breast cancer and hopes to determine whether or not cancer-sniffing dogs can identify breath samples from women with \u2014 and without \u2014 the disease. Researcher also hope to divide breath samples up by their various chemical compounds to see which elements dogs are actually smelling. This could be instructive in developing new types of cancer screening.<\/span>

<\/span>\u201cAlthough there is currently no cure for cancer, early detection offers the best hope of survival,\u201d Junqueira said<\/a>. \u201cA highly sensitive test for detecting cancer could potentially save thousands of lives and change the way the disease is treated.\u201d<\/span>You can read more about this exciting research right here<\/a>!<\/span>
