Blood-Based Liquid Biopsy: A New Approach to Canine Cancer Detection. Has a client ever said to you, “Can you tell if my dog has cancer from the blood work”?

Title: Liquid biopsy for non-invasive multi-cancer detection and characterization in dogs. Synopsis: Blood-based liquid biopsy for veterinary applications will be introduced, including a review of the current clinical approach to cancer diagnosis, and opportunities for cell-free DNA-based liquid biopsy testing in dogs. Multiple clinical use cases for liquid biopsy in cancer detection will be described, including screening for early detection; aid in diagnosis; and monitoring for residual or recurrent disease. This program has been approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions that recognize RACE approval (Tracking number 20-848616).
