DOGS can help diagnose prostate cancer
Dogs can sniff out prostate cancer with 98 per cent reliability, a new study has shown.
The research, carried out in Milan, backs up tests carried out by the charity Medical Detection Dogs.
Its co-founder Dr Claire Guest said the charity's research found a 93 per cent reliability rate when detecting both prostate and bladder cancer.
She hailed the new study, describing the findings as 'spectacular'.

Its co-founder Dr Claire Guest said the charity's research found a 93 per cent reliability rate when detecting both prostate and bladder cancer.
She hailed the new study, describing the findings as 'spectacular'.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with more than 40,000 new cases diagnosed every year.
Dr Guest said: 'These results are spectacular. They offer us further proof that dogs have the ability to detect human cancer.
'It is particularly exciting that we have such a high success rate in the detection of prostate cancer, for which the existing tests are woefully inadequate.'
She said there is currently a 'reluctance to embrace this tested, time-old technology' but dogs can pick up a scent in a dilution of one to a thousand parts.
There is no single test for prostate cancer, but the most commonly used are blood tests, a physical examination or a biopsy.
The research is published in the Journal Of Urology.
