> I actually tried contacting some researchers locally, because I live near a university hospital that does a lot of research into testing for cancer. They basically said it was impossible and to stop wasting their time… like damn okay sorry

Too bad. I guess a blind study with a control group wouldn't be too hard to conduct. Worst case, it was a waste of time. Otherwise, might lead to interesting discoveries.

I saw this too, not Shure if a reddit post is HN worthy. Regardless, I think there are studies in dogs, but I have not heard of human smelling cancer.and there are multiple people (?) claiming it in the comments.
