  • Summary

  • Dogs are on their way to sniffing out early signs of bowel and ovarian cancers.

    K9 Medical Detection New Zealand has had a 100% success rate in recent trials.

    The four-legged workers are trained to detect specific odours connected to bowel and ovarian cancers.

    CEO Pauline Blomfield told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the dogs are clearly detecting the odour released from cancer, but they’re not replacing any tests.

    She said that they’re currently working with scientists to identify the markers dogs are picking up on, because they don’t currently know what exactly the dogs are smelling.
