Breath <i>versus</i> saliva for lung cancer detection with dogs
The higher sensitivity of dogs to breath samples than to saliva samples suggests that breath samples have greater utility for canine scent detection of lung cancer. Although these findings support the continued use of breath samples for volatile-based lung cancer detection, with methodological improvements, saliva samples may also have utility for this purpose.
