Yes, we are finally there!
A simple blood test to
detect cancer in dogs!!!
Hello, everyone. When we first started the National Canine
Cancer Foundation and wrote our mission statement—to save dogs lives by finding
cures, better treatments, and accurate, cost-effective diagnostic methods in
dealing with canine cancer—it was my hope and belief that I would someday get
to write to all dogs owners a letter like this.
We all know that one of the keys to saving lives and
beating cancer in our sweet pups is to find it early. Thanks to Veterinary
Diagnostics Institute (VDI), it is with great pleasure that the
National Canine Cancer Foundation can present to all dog owners who suspect
or want to confirm cancer in their dogs, a simple blood test that will
accurately detect cancer.
This is life-changing
and lifesaving news for every dog!
If there is one thing I have heard over and over again from
people who have lost their dog to cancer, it is “If there was only a way to
find out sooner, my dog might still be alive.” Well now there is! The blood
test is called VDI TKcanine+.
We need everyone to spread the word about this blood test
that will give every dog a new fighting chance of winning the battle
against Cancer.
This is the fight
against canine cancer that everyone can help with.

Here is some key
information about the blood test:
The VDI-TKcanine+ test has a 24-hour
turnaround time to accommodate a quick response to ease the dog owners’
suspicions and concerns. VDI-TKcanine+ measures two separate
parameters in the dog’s blood. The first parameter is an enzyme called
thymidine kinase or TK for short. TK is released into the blood stream by cells
that are undergoing unusually rapid cell division; a hallmark of cancer. The
second parameter the test measures is a protein that detects when inflammation
is present; another characteristic of most cancer types. Using these two
measurements, VDI-TKcanine+ detects the presence of cancer,
often in the early stages before the signs are more obvious.
VDI-TKcanine+ is
a very accurate test, with a sensitivity of 96% and a specificity of 85% when
the result falls into the category of “Positive.” Should the test result fall
into the category of “High Positive,” the specificity rises to 99%.
