Cancer affects many of your patients, with one in four dogs facing a diagnosis in their lifetime1. In many cases, patients are not diagnosed until the later stages, when clinical signs are already present. Unfortunately, this delay can often lead to poorer outcomes and shorter survival rates.

Lymphoma is one of the most common cancers in dogs, comprising up to 24% of new diagnoses2. As oncology continues to shift towards early detection, giving veterinary teams and families more time to plan and a wider range of treatment opportunities. Diagnosing lymphoma before it causes illness has the potential to significantly improve outcomes.

Now, earlier detection is finally within reach. IDEXX Cancer Dx™ testing is a groundbreaking diagnostic that uses innovative, proprietary technologies to accurately detect circulating biomarkers specific to canine lymphoma in at-risk dogs3.

With a simple blood test, Cancer Dx can identify lymphoma up to 6–8 months before clinical signs, giving families valuable time to consider the best next step.

Cancer Dx also fits seamlessly into your existing workflow. It can be added to routine wellness screening for senior dogs (≥7 years) and at‑risk breeds from 4 years using the same sample, or used to diagnose unwell patients when lymphoma is suspected.

Early cancer answers have never been more accessible. When added to a qualifying profile, Cancer Dx costs as little as $29*, and where available, B/T‑cell phenotype is included at no additional cost, to help guide clinical decisions with greater clarity.

And this is only the beginning. IDEXX remains committed to relentless innovation, with the Cancer Dx panel expanding to detect more than 50% of common canine cancers in the coming years.
