IDEXX Cancer Dx testing can be affordably and easily incorporated into testing for sick pets and IDEXX Preventive Care profiles for at-risk dogs, and it provides actionable insights to inform next steps.

• It can be hard to find lymphoma early. IDEXX Cancer Dx testing is your GPS.
  Cancer is a leading cause of death in canines, with 1 in 4 dogs in the U.S. expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Veterinarians field nearly 750,000 questions annually from pet owners about cancer testing-and now, you have an answer.
• Results that can give you time to take action. And guidance to know which action to take.
  Timing is only half the battle. That’s why we offer actionable, oncologist-recommended guidance to inform your next steps. Get personalized, comprehensive support from IDEXX Medical Consulting Services. In many cases, B-cell vs. T-cell phenotype classification will be provided with positive results at no additional cost.
• A new recruit in the war against cancer.
  The revolutionary, proprietary technology behind IDEXX Cancer Dx testing detects a circulating biomarker specific to canine lymphoma. In the coming years, we plan to add detection of more of the most common canine cancers.
