Early Cancer Detection in Dogs with a Simple Blood Draw

OncoK9® is a first-in-class multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test. Pet parents get mammograms and colonoscopies to help detect cancer early. Now, our dogs have OncoK9, a cancer screening test developed specifically for them.

Simple blood draw

Simple
Blood Draw

Most cancer tests are either invasive (like a tissue biopsy) or require special equipment (like imaging). OncoK9 requires only a simple blood draw. The sample collection can take place during the same visit when the veterinarian prescribes the test.

Multi-cancer coverage

Multi-Cancer
Coverage

OncoK9 has demonstrated cancer signal detection across more than 20 cancer types, including 7 of the most common cancers in dogs.

Cutting-edge technology

Cutting-Edge
Technology

OncoK9 interrogates millions of cell-free DNA fragments in each blood sample, using sophisticated next-generation sequencing technology and bioinformatics algorithms to detect multiple classes of genomic alterations associated with cancer.

Early detection

Early
Detection

By identifying cancer signal in cell-free DNA extracted from a blood sample, OncoK9 may allow for earlier detection of cancer, before the onset of clinical signs.

6 Million New Cancer Cases Per Year in Dogs

1 in 3 lifetime risk of getting cancer
Cancer is the cause of 30% of dog deaths

OncoK9 is recommended as an annual screening test for dogs at higher risk of cancer

Dogs 8 and older have a higher risk of cancer
Certain breeds have a higher risk of cancer


OncoK9 is also recommended as an aid-in-diagnosis test for dogs in whom cancer is suspected

When a veterinarian identifies clinical signs or other clinical findings that may lead them to suspect cancer, they may choose to prescribe OncoK9 as part of their clinical workup.
