It can: Some trained dogs can smell out melanoma and some other cancers. It not likely that humans can diagnose cancer by smell, at least not an early cancer.

Interesting: Question! animals seem to be able to sense or smell their owners cancers. I'm sure you have read or heard stories. As far as humans able to sniff out a tumor, I do not think so.
