According to reports, a new study, which was published in the in the European Repertory Journal, recently made a very interesting claim, which stated that as compared to the latest medical technologies used for diagnosing the early lung cancer, dogs in a much better way sniffed the cancer symptoms.

However, the study reports also claimed that across United States and Europe, the deadly Lung cancer was the second most common form of cancer in men and women, and as result of which, nearly 500,000 people die in their early ages annually.

Meanwhile, the reports further accounted that in order to make the study findings more reliable, the study researchers examined the specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which were strongly correlated with the presence of cancer elements and they surprisingly discovered that the latest medical methods for identifying lung cancer VOCs, were not valid because the test results, certainly contained several high risk interferences, particularly from the residuals of tobacco smoke and the results also took long procedures in disease identification.

Moreover, when the trained dogs were instructed to sniff out a study group that included lung cancer patients, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and healthy volunteers, they effectively recognized 71 cancer samples and they too correctly detected 372 samples, which were not linked with cancer.
