Canine Cancer Screening in Your Practice
Approximately 6 million dogs are diagnosed with cancer in the United States each year. Early detection can mean better treatment and outcomes for your patients. In partnership with Volition Veterinary, Heska is proud to offer the Nu.Q® Canine Cancer Screen and Monitor. Nearly 50% of dogs over 10 will develop cancer. These diagnoses are often unexpected and debilitating for patients and pet parents alike. Cancer screening with the Nu.Q® Canine Cancer Screen and Monitor aids in early detection, leading to more comprehensive and effective treatment.
Cancer screening with Nu.Q® provides the opportunity to detect cancer early. Studies have shown that measuring nucleosomes in blood has the potential to detect multiple stages of common canine cancers, such as lymphoma and hemangiosarcoma.
Intended for screening dogs 7 years and older, or predisposed individuals and breeds, Nu.Q® Canine Cancer Screen and Monitor allows veterinary professionals the chance to catch cancer early and provide a higher level of care.
Heska has two Nu.Q® test options:

How Does it Work?
During cell death, chromatin is fragmented into nucleosomes, which are released into the bloodstream. Cancer is usually characterized by high levels of cellular turnover, in turn leading to higher levels of nucleosomes circulating in blood. The Nu.Q® Canine Cancer Screen and Monitor measures these nucleosomes to provide clinicians with actionable results.
