如何尽早诊断癌症一直是人类最关心的问题之一。英国慈善组织“医学嗅探犬”与米尔顿·凯恩斯医院一起训练了九只嗅癌犬,能够帮助辨别前列腺癌、肾癌和膀胱癌。这九只嗅癌犬中包括六只拉布拉多、两只史宾格犬和一只匈牙利维斯拉犬。在专业人员训练下,这些犬只需闻闻尿液的味道,就能判断出尿液的主人是否患有前列腺癌。在实验室条件下,嗅癌犬的准确率高达93%。训练者说,当前,筛查前列腺癌的主要方法是抽血进行血清PSA检查,但这一检查的准确率远远不如嗅癌犬。 How to diagnose cancer as soon as possible has always been one of the most concern issues for human beings. The British charity Medical Sniffer Dog trained nine sniffing dogs with the Milton Keynes hospital to help identify prostate, kidney and bladder cancer. The nine sniffing dogs include six Labrador dogs, two Spaniel dogs and one Hungarian Wisla dog. Under professional training, these dogs need only to smell the urine and determine whether the owner of the urine has prostate cancer. In laboratory conditions, the accuracy of sniffing dogs up to 93%. Trainers said that at present, the main method of screening for prostate cancer is to take blood serum PSA test, but the accuracy of this test is far less than sniffing dogs.
