Can trained dogs find breast cancer from breath?
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial will see if specially trained dogs can identify breast cancer by smelling breath samples. You would give a breath sample and the dogs will be tested on how well they can detect cancer from it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were assigned female at birth.
- You are 40 or older, OR between 18 and 39 and have a high-risk gene mutation (like BRCA1, BRCA2, PTEN, etc.), OR between 18 and 39 with a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer.
- You are scheduled for routine breast cancer screening (mammogram, ultrasound, or MRI) OR you have a suspicious finding (BI-RADS 4B) and are scheduled for a breast biopsy.
- You have not had cancer or cancer treatment in the past year.

This study is testing whether a simple breath test can help find patterns linked to breast cancer. If you are scheduled for a breast biopsy or MRI, you may be eligible to participate.
This study uses a simple breath test to look for chemical patterns that might help detect cancer. By analyzing your breath, researchers hope to find a non-invasive way to diagnose cancer earlier.
This study collects breath samples from women with suspicious breast ultrasound findings (BI-RADS 4) before surgery to see if certain chemicals in the breath can help identify cancer. If you are scheduled for surgery soon, your breath may help researchers find a new way to screen for breast cancer.
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan to find breast cancer cells that have a certain marker (CD73). It may help doctors see the cancer more clearly before you start other treatments.
This trial uses a special breath test (E-Nose) to monitor how well treatment is working in people with non-small cell lung cancer. You just breathe into a device, and it measures compounds in your breath.
This trial tests whether a simple breath test can help detect pancreatic cancer earlier. If you have been referred for possible pancreatic cancer, you may be able to take part.
