What I think about this article is that it can help a lot of people who don’t know that they have caner and save them, because if the machine doesn’t detected it then u know a dog can have a possibility to be able to detect lung cancer. Also it’s not accurate either, because dogs can get confused with different smells. I question how they teach the dogs on how to know how to tell the difference between smells.

Dogs Can Reliably Sniff Out Lung Cancer, German Study Shows
Lizette Y. -- This article was about how dogs are able to tell if you have caner just by smelling your breath. In Germany researchers at Schillerhoehe Hospital came with trained dogs so they could smell the breaths of 220 volunteers. In those volunteers there were healthy patients and people who had lung cancer. The dogs detected 71 people who had lung cancer out of 100. They also identified 372 people who didn’t have cancer out of 400.
