An Affordable New DNA-Based Blood Test to Detect Cancer in Dogs

***Click Here to RSVP***

Description: Early cancer detection matters. That’s why we, as humans, have routine screening tests like mammograms and colonoscopies – to look for cancer when we’re healthy – with the goal of finding it early, treating it, and giving us more quality time with the ones we love. Our patients deserve no different. For almost 3 years now, state-of-the-art cancer detection with a simple blood draw – also called “liquid biopsy” – has been revolutionizing how (and when) cancer is detected in dogs. This session will review the evolution of DNA-based liquid biopsy testing since it was introduced to the veterinary field in 2021, with a focus on newly-available options for early cancer detection in 2024. We will discuss how early detection is making a difference in the lives of dogs, their families, and their veterinary care teams, by finding cancer earlier, while their tails are still wagging.
