I'm over the moon about this one! Today our study looking at how veterinarians are using liquid biopsy in real-world cases was published in the Journal Of Veterinary Medical Association (JAVMA)!

This study showed that OncoK9 performance in the real world matches that established in the clinical validation study, and that cancer is found 90% of the time after a positive result followed by a workup. That is a really high real-world positive predictive value (PPV), and I am so excited! What's more, the NPV was 94% when used as a screening test, giving pet owners and the veterinarians that manage their care good peace-of-mind after a negative result.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To review ordering patterns, positivity rates, and outcome data for a subset of consecutive samples submitted for a commercially available, blood-based multicancer early-detection liquid biopsy test for dogs using next-generation sequencing at 1 laboratory. SAMPLE 1,500 consecutiv...

Wow what an amazing opportunity to be part of this show! Stay tuned for my appearance on American Kennel Club Dog Center!

Advanced genomic tools have provided biotech companies new approaches to help our furry friends—but experts say several limitations remain.

I've watched The American Kennel Club National Championship on TV since I was a little girl. So to, get to be a guest on an AKC TV show, as an expert, and get to share knowledge about early cancer detection with dog owners?! Dream come true!

Check me out on AKC's Ask the Expert (and watch out for some great photos of me with some of the pets that made me want to become a vet!). Thank you, AKC! https://akc.tv/watch/19/8154/video-3/ate?ctx=/watch//4/2037/series/ask-the-expert
