Continuing Education Sessions
- Date/Time: December 2, 2022 – 9:15 am PST
- Speaker: Dr. Andi Flory, DVM, DACVIM (Oncology)
- Title: Canine Cancer: DNA Unleashed
- Description: This session will provide an overview of the basic principles of cancer biology, including the types of genes and common classes of genomic alterations involved in cancer. “Clonality” and “tumor heterogeneity” will be discussed as the basis for treatment resistance. The session will conclude with a discussion of the similarity between the human and canine genomes, and how advances in cancer diagnostics and treatments in one species may benefit the other.
- Date/Time: December 2, 2022 – 11:00 am PST
- Speaker: Dr. Andi Flory, DVM, DACVIM (Oncology)
- Title: “Liquid Biopsy”: Revolutionizing Cancer Detection in Dogs
- Description: Cancer is caused by alterations in DNA and these alterations can be detected in blood, forming the basis for “liquid biopsy testing”. This session will discuss how this novel technology may offer potential as an innovative screening tool for the detection of cancer in dogs. A detailed review of the clinical validation study of a next-generation sequencing-based liquid biopsy test in over 1,000 dogs will be provided, along with a review of data from similar testing that is clinically available for use in human oncology patients.
- Date/Time: December 2, 2022 – 1:30 pm PST
- Speaker: Dr. Andi Flory, DVM, DACVIM (Oncology)
- Title: Integrating Blood-Based “Liquid Biopsy” Testing for Canine Cancer Detection Into Your Practice
- Description: This session will provide the latest clinical laboratory experience with next-generation sequencing-based “liquid biopsy” testing for cancer detection in dogs, along with a series of interesting case studies that demonstrate the use of this novel technology in the real-world veterinary clinical practice.
