研究發現，受過訓練的螞蟻，能透過嗅覺分辨健康的人類細胞及患有癌症的人類細胞。螞蟻的學習能力快速而且效率高，相比訓練狗隻更省力氣及時間。這發現將有助更快速及有效地檢測早期癌症。

A new study discovered trained ants can differentiate between cancerous cells and healthy cells. Ants have fast learning ability; training them is more efficient and cost-effective compare to training dogs to do similar job. This discovery would help detect cancer more quickly and efficiently in an early stage.
