Liquid biopsy methods use cell-free DNA to screen for early signs of cancer in humans. Researchers collected plasma from 876 dogs to validate a novel liquid biopsy test designed to detect multiple types of canine neoplasia.

Could this blood test simplify screens for canine cancer?

A slow propofol administration rate allows for better titration, potentially reducing dose-dependent adverse effects in dogs. So just how slow is “slow”?

Liquid biopsy tests that identify cell-free DNA are a proven method of early cancer detection in humans. A recent study evaluated a new, commercially-available test for dogs to test whether simpler cancer screening is on the horizon.
