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.
Who can take part
- 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 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 a simple urine test that looks for DNA changes to help find bladder or urinary tract cancer early. It is for people who have blood in their urine and are going to have surgery, to see if the test can accurately detect cancer before surgery.
This study is testing a new urine test that looks for chemical changes in DNA that might indicate bladder cancer (or other urinary tract cancers). The goal is to see if this simple urine test can reliably detect cancer, possibly helping avoid more invasive procedures.
This study is testing a urine test to see if it can find bladder cancer early in people with Lynch syndrome. If you have Lynch syndrome and are between 50 and 75, this screening could help catch cancer before it causes symptoms.
This study examines whether a simple blood test can detect cancer DNA (circulating tumor DNA, or ctDNA) in patients with a specific type of bladder cancer. Detecting this DNA in blood may help doctors predict how the cancer will behave and guide future treatment decisions.
