Abstract

We read with great interest the article by Sonoda et al published on line (Gut doi:10.1136/gut.2010.218305) of canine scent detection in those with colorectal cancer. The concept of using a dog to detect diseases is not new; there are many reported incidents of dogs barking at their owners (or even trying to bite the leg off of an owner with melanoma!) who are later shown to have the disease.
