Research has also used dogs to sniff out skin cancer, so there could be something to this; however it is found and the earlier the better. Work in progress to develop additional markers as well. BD

Scientists have identified a characteristic odor profile given off by skin-cancer tumors, which might one day allow diagnosis by a wave of a detector across the skin.
