Scientists plan UK clinical trial of rats trained to sniff out cancer
Israeli scientists have trained rats to sniff out lung cancer from human urine with 90% accuracy. The company behind the testing, Early Labs, plans to set up clinical trials in the UK to detect other forms of cancer using urine samples. The rats were able to correctly identify lung cancer samples 93% of the time. The technique is also being tested on colon cancer samples. Early diagnosis of cancer is crucial for successful treatment, and certain cancers can trigger specific body odors that can be found in bodily fluids. The urine test for cancer detection could be a game-changer in early cancer diagnosis.

Lab claims it teaches rats to detect lung cancer with 93% accuracy by sniffing urine
Israeli startup Early has developed a system to train rats to detect cancer with 93% accuracy by smell-testing urine samples. The company, which raised $6.2 million in investment, aims to use the rats to process samples provided by individuals from their own homes. The rats are trained to identify lung cancer by smelling the urine samples. If successful, the technology could eliminate the need for waiting for screening and provide easy access to early diagnosis. The rats are as accurate as low dose CT scans currently used for lung cancer screening. The training system lasts for four months and takes advantage of rats highly developed sense of smell and intelligence.
