Breast Cancer Detection Using Dogs and AI
This study is looking into a new way to find breast cancer using trained dogs and artificial intelligence (AI) by analyzing your breath. We are inviting women aged 40 and above, or those assigned female at birth, who are already scheduled for routine breast cancer screening (like a mammogram, ultrasound, or biopsy). To participate, you would simply breathe into a surgical mask to provide a breath sample. This sample will then be checked by trained dogs and an AI system. The goal is to see how well this breath test can detect breast cancer compared to standard medical tests, with results being evaluated over 24 months.
- Study design
- This is an observational study aiming to enroll 1204 women. It is designed to evaluate the accuracy of a breath test system.
- What's involved
- You would provide a breath sample by breathing into a surgical mask. This is done in conjunction with your routine breast cancer screening.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The study will evaluate the test performance over 24 months.

What this trial measures
- Test Performance Evaluation24 months
The test performance will be determined by analysis of the sensitivity and the specificity of the primary endpoint sample set, where sensitivity is the number of participants with a true positive result divided by the number of participants with a positive clinical diagnosis (positive biopsy), and specificity is the number of participants with a true negative result divided by the number of participants with a negative clinical diagnosis.
