Which animal will help in early detection of the disease?
The issue of early cancer diagnosis is one of the most important in the modern world. Scientists are not abandoning attempts to create rapid tests so that people can detect pathologies earlier. Seeing a doctor early saves lives.
In Germany, scientists have found that there is one animal that can accurately identify cancer patients by smell. These are rabbits.
The study results were published in the prestigious medical journal The Lancet.
For the purity of the experiment, the rabbits were allowed to “get acquainted” with the smells of patients with different types and forms of cancer. And then they offered to smell healthy people. Rabbits accurately found those with onset of cancer with an accuracy of over 97%. Subsequent examination of the people “selected” by the rabbits confirmed their unpleasant diagnoses in the early stages.
Rabbits most accurately detect breast, lung, and skin cancer.
A small percentage of errors occurred in forms of intestinal, pancreatic, and stomach cancer.
It is still difficult to say how the results of the scientific discovery may affect diagnostics in general.
It is possible that rabbits specially trained for the common odors of several types of cancer may begin to be sold, and they can be kept as pets by anyone who intends to monitor their health. If it shakes, the rabbit will certainly let you know regarding it.
