Lung Cancer Detection by Canine Scent: Will there be a lab in the lab?
Work toward the development of an ‘‘electronic nose’’ for cancer detection has been underway for several decades; how-ever, dogs still appear to be ahead in the race and seem to have sniffed their way to the front of the line.

Chinese Herbal Medicine and Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Colon Cancer: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
The Pine Street Foundation is now critically examining published studies to see whether Chinese herbal medicine, when added to chemotherapy, could measurably improve treatment outcomes for people with colon cancer, as compared to using the same chemotherapy alone.
Wellness Times
Science is showing us that dogs have abilities that go beyond airport security and into the field of medicine: They can also detect covert cancer cells, or predict a hypoglycemic event or epileptic convulsion. Which begs the question: Is it time to put a Lab in the lab?
Study Abstracts: Pine Street 10 Year Survival Studies
For patients with lung or colon cancer, does adding complementary and alternative medical (CAM) therapy to standard treatment extend survival? We analyzed more than 10 years of follow-up data from the Pine Street Clinic for patients who used CAM therapy and compared their outcomes to a control group of matched controls from the California Cancer Registry. In two papers published this autumn in Integrative Cancer Therapies, one of the most important peer-reviewed journals in this field, we found that patients who took an integrative approach had significantly improved survival when compared to those patients who only had standard treatment.
