And nobody can smell cancer on a person. Now I remember why I check in here so rarely. Statements like that are taken without question. LOL
Cancer raises polyamine levels, and they do have a distinct odor. ... Using an electronic nose, researchers have been able to detect prostate cancer from urine smell print profiles. These studies, and others like them, are a promising area of cancer research. It's still in its infancy, though.Jul 22, 2016
is there an odor?
When it comes to cancer, early detection can save lives. This is why researchers around the world are working to find new ways to detect cancer before it has the chance to spread.
One interesting avenue of research concerns the smells associated with cancer that the human nose can’t necessarily detect. Researchers are looking to canines, hoping to make use of their superior olfactory talents.
What the research says
In a 2008 study, researchers taught a dog to differentiate between types and grades of ovarian tumors versus healthy samples. In controlled experiments, the study authors found that their trained dogs were very reliable at sniffing out ovarian cancers
https://www.healthline.com/health/cancer/can-you-smell-cancer#researchI have never been treated at Baptist or any other hospital in Pensacola. If I had cancer in Pensacola, I would go to Tampa, Houston, or Birmingham. My Pulmonary doc in thirty years had only seen two cases with my type of cancer, while my new Pulmonary doc at Northwestern does 150 operations a year on my rare cancer, and my Pulmonary doc did not know what an octreotide scan was, and he failed to put me on Sando injections......I will go with common sense and probabilities, but if you think a good bedside manner is important without the expertise.....go for it.
