Revolutionizing Lung Cancer Detection with Canine Senses

DOGSCAN introduces a groundbreaking approach to lung cancer screening using specially trained dogs. Traditional methods such as blood tests and X-rays have proven unreliable and expose patients to radiation risks.

This innovative initiative was inspired by Alexander Maßen, who lost his father to lung cancer. Collaborating with dog trainer Florian Wienen, they developed a technique that leverages dogs' acute sense of smell to detect the disease early.

Although their pitch to potential investors was met with skepticism, the potential of canine detection in healthcare remains a fascinating frontier. By closing the existing gaps in lung cancer screening, DOGSCAN aims to change the landscape of early diagnosis and improve patient outcomes.
