You See 20 Dogs With Lumps and Bumps: How Do You Spot the 3 With Cancer?

In this one-hour lecture, Dr. Natalie Marks will discuss why early cancer detection is vital for the best pet outcomes. While most clinicians would agree, more than half of dermal and subcutaneous masses in dogs go undiagnosed mainly due to the cost and invasiveness of traditional tests. This lecture will discuss how a non-invasive cancer screening tool, utilizing heat diffusion imaging and artificial intelligence, can safely screen dermal and subcutaneous masses. It will also discuss how this technology complements traditional strategies, such as FNA, biopsy, or surgery, rather than competing with them, and helps reinforce the need for these clinically indicated tests. The lecture will conclude with a deeper examination of the technology itself, its accuracy, and workflow implementation.
