Detect Breast Cancer

Background: Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Several studies have demonstrated that dogs can sniff and detect cancer in the breath or urine sample of a patient. This study aims to assess whether the urine sample can be used for breast cancer screening by its fingerprints of volatile organic compounds using a single trained sniffer dog. This is a preliminary study for developing the “electronic nose” for cancer screening. Methods: A nine-year-old female Labrador Retriever was trained to identify cancer from urine samples of breast cancer patients. Urine samples from patients histologically diagnosed with primary breast cancer, those with non-breast malignant diseases, and healthy volunteers were obtained, and a double-blind test was performed. Total of 40 patients with breast cancer, 142 patients with non-breast malignant diseases, and 18 healthy volunteers were enrolled, and their urine samples were collected. Results: In 40 times out of 40 runs of a double-blind test, the trained dog could correctly identify urine samples of breast cancer patients. Sensitivity and specificity of this breast cancer detection method using dog sniffing were both 100%. Conclusions: The trained dog in this study could accurately detect breast cancer from urine samples of breast cancer patients. These results indicate the feasibility of a method to detect breast cancer from urine samples using dog sniffing in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Although the methodological standardization is still an issue to be discussed, the current result warrants further study for developing a new breast cancer screening method based on volatile organic compounds in urine samples.

Detect Breast Cancer

The internet of things is probably one of the most challenging and disruptive concepts raised in recent years. Recent development in innovation and availability have prompted the rise of internet of things (IoT). IoT technology is used in a wide scope of certified application circumstances. Internet of things has witnessed the transition in life for the last few years which provides a way to analyze both the real-time data and past data by the emerging role. The current state-of-the-art method does not effectively diagnose breast cancer in the early stages. Thus, the early detection of breast cancer poses a great challenge for medical experts and researchers. This chapter alleviates this by developing a novel software to detect breast cancer at a much earlier stage than traditional methods or self-examination.
