Can dogs smell bladder cancer in urine?
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether specially trained dogs can detect bladder cancer by smelling urine samples. It aims to find a fast, non-invasive way to screen for the disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for a procedure that includes a look inside the bladder (cystoscopy)
- You have a urine sample collected as part of your regular care within the month before the procedure
- You are covered by health insurance
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form
- You do not have a history of other cancers (unless cured for more than 5 years) and are not pregnant or breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at whether a large urine sample can detect bladder cancer DNA. It may help diagnose cancer without needing a cystoscopy. You can join if you are about to have a cystoscopy to check for bladder cancer.
This trial looks at how a urine DNA test may help find bladder cancer (or clues that it might be present), especially in people with symptoms or higher risk. You may be asked to provide urine and also complete standard tests like imaging, a cystoscopy, or pathology checks.
This trial studies a special PET/CT scan tracer that is designed to bind to a protein (Nectin-4) found in some bladder cancers. It aims to help doctors see and stage tumors more clearly, which could improve diagnosis and treatment planning.
This study tests whether a special urine testing approach can better identify and sort risk in people (especially veterans) who were referred to urology for blood in the urine. It may help doctors decide who needs more urgent follow-up and which next steps to take.
This study tests a new urine test that looks for DNA changes to find bladder or urinary tract cancer in people who have blood in their urine. The goal is to see if this simple test can detect cancer early.
This study tests a new urine test to detect bladder or urinary tract cancer. It uses a simple urine sample to look for specific DNA changes (methylation) that may signal cancer, potentially avoiding the need for a more invasive procedure.
