I'm not sure whether it was the effect of a large G&T hitting my blood stream on Sunday night, but I thought I heard the presenter describe a dog which could smell bladder cancer in the urine of sufferers, and that it successfully 'diag-nosed' a patient who had been cleared by their doctor.
Google tells me that there was a report on the BBC news website at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3682722.stm
and also this recently about a 'new urine test
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4266745.stm
but are there any comments, additional information, speculation on the impact of this on laboratory medicine?
Cheers
