Cancer Screening Test

Cancer is a common disease, but the signs of cancer are often nondescript and can mimic many other types of illness. 

Why screen for cancer?

1. Early detection can improve or prolong the life and health of your pet.
2. Where cancer is suspected, confirmed, or successfully treated, this is a simple way to monitor your pet for early detection of cancer growth (metastasis) or recurrence.
3. Recommended as part of a routine wellness plan for healthy senior dogs or for high-risk breeds.

Is the test accurate?

1. The cancer screening test can confirm the presence of cancer before more detailed types of exams are employed (ultrasound, X-ray, biopsy). It is able to detect 82 percent of all cancers six months prior to the onset of visible signs—and 100 percent of all cancers four months prior.
