Sniffer dogs can be used to detect lung cancer, claim German scientists
Doctors in Germany say that sniffer dogs can be used to detect lung cancer, according to a BBC report.
Scientists don't know exactly what chemical the dogs can sniff out, so a programme to screen people could be a long way off.
It is thought that tumours produce "volatile chemicals" which a dog can detect.

UK riots: some sentences 'too severe', say MPs and justice campaigners
Some of the sentences handed out to people involved in the UK riots are too severe, according to MPs and justice campaigners.
Liberal Democratic MP Tom Brake believes they should be about "restorative justice" not retribution.
But a Tory MP disagrees. Gavin Barwell said a clear message should be sent that the country would not tolerate such behaviour.
Two men have been jailed for four years for using Facebook to incite riots and another man has been given an 18 month sentence for having a stolen television.
In my opinion, we should edge to wards "zero tolerance". Harsh sentences are justified if they stop looters and rioters.

Florida mayor shuts down police force after marijuana found in her garden - video
Oak Hill eliminates police department: MyFoxORLANDO.com
A MAYOR in Florida has shut down the entire police department after 10 marijuana plants were found in her garden and allegations of corruption. The sheriff's department was then called in to run enforcement in the area.
Mayor Mary Lee Cook, 84, of Oak Hill, Florida, said she believed someone from the force planted the cannabis on her property to damage her reputation.
She called a special meeting to present other complaints against the police chief and, during a discussion, commissioners said it was best to "terminate the entire department".
The sheriff's department says Mayor Cook was not aware of the drugs on her property and had not been charged.

Al Capone son threat to murder Teddy Kennedy - weeks after Senator Robert Kennedy was killed
FBI documents have revealed that the son of gangster Al Capone had threatened to assassinate Edward Kennedy - three weeks after the senator's brother Robert Kennedy was gunned down in Los Angeles.
Albert "Sonny" Capone was heard in a Miami restaurant in 1968 saying Edward Kennedy might "get it too".
The story has fuelled speculation that mobsters were involved in the assassination of President John F Kennedy in 1963.
Ted Kennedy died of cancer in 2009 and Albert "Sonny" Capone died in 2004.

Woman claims surgical sponge left inside her for 15 years after operation - Australia
Helen O'Hagan is suing a doctor in Sydney, Australia, because she claims that he left a surgical sponge inside her after surgery - and it's been there for 15 years.
The surgeon has retired and says the case should be dismissed because she has taken so long to bring legal action.
He claims not to remember treating her… and that he always counted every instrument at the end of an operation.
