Abstract in brief
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men in developed countries, highlighting the need for better detection methods beyond traditional PSA testing.
Using trained dogs to detect cancer through smell shows promise, but practical application relies on machine olfaction technologies.
A pilot study combining canine olfaction, volatile organic compound analysis, and microbial profiling found that dogs could detect advanced prostate cancer with 71% sensitivity and significant differences in VOCs and microbiota were confirmed between cancer-positive and control samples.

@CMOH_NL @EasternHealthNL Apparently they can train dogs to detect any disease, including COVID-19. We could screen a whole school with a couple dogs on the way in every morning. Malcolm Gladwell did a piece on this recently. Related study: https://t.co/ug7ULeWEeS

I think this paper is basically doing distillation of a model learned by a dog's brain into a machine learning model.
(What's the inductive bias that dogs use to generalize so well?)
