Show Me the Data! A Look at Real-world Clinical Performance and Outcomes of Liquid Biopsy Testing for Cancer Detection in 1500 dogs

  • Specialty: Oncology
  • Speaker: Allison O’Kell, DVM, MS, DACVIM (SAIM)
  • Sponsor: PetDX
  • RACE-approved: 1.0 CE Credit Hour
  • Date: Tuesday February 28, 2023 at 7:00 PM EST

Once a test has been validated and is commercially available, it is important for the laboratory to periodically report utilization and performance metrics regarding the test. Blood-based liquid biopsy using next-generation sequencing became clinically available in May 2021. Since that time, the test has been ordered for thousands of patients, primarily as a screening tool for dogs at higher risk of cancer, and as an aid in diagnosis for dogs for which there is a clinical suspicion of cancer. This session will review data from a cohort of 1,500 consecutive liquid biopsy tests received for commercial testing at one clinical laboratory, and will include a discussion of ordering patterns, positivity rates, and patient outcome data, along with how this data can be used to discuss liquid biopsy testing with clients. A series of interesting case studies will be presented, exploring the use of this testing in a variety of clinical settings.
