Our manuscript "Serum Onconeural Antibodies in Dogs and Cats for Early Diagnosis of Cancer" provides the first proof-of-principle that onconeural antibodies can be
detected in dogs and cats, and their identification in serum might serve as a new tool for early cancer diagnosis. The test can confirm a clinical suspicion and is a great tool to monitor a treatment: https://doi.org/10.2147/VMRR.S537744
The Manuscript Concludes:
•The onconeural antibody profiles observed in canines and felines can predict malignancy and be used as a first-of-its-kind test in veterinary medicine for early cancer diagnostics.
•This cancer test is the first in the industry for companion animals, dogs, and cats. The test can be offered to any dog or cat three years and older as a preventative, early screening test during an animal’s check-up.
•The test is highly recommended for all canines and felines two years and older for breeds genetically predisposed to cancer.
•The amount of serum required for testing, only 0.1 ml, makes this assay suitable for all small dog breeds and cats.
•A highly specific and sensitive ONHR antibody detection test can serve as an excellent diagnostic procedure to confirm clinical suspicion, initiate a timely treatment, and monitor post-treatment.
•The test can also give a very good understanding of the etiology of a Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndrome if it is triggered by a tumor or if it is observed regardless of cancer.
Note that this cancer test is already validated for ferrets and rabbits too and can now detect and differentiate 22 cancers.
