Each cell in a dog's body contains billions of DNA "letters" that make up the dog's genome. Cancer develops as a result of the successive accumulation of genomic alterations (DNA mutations) over time. All cells release DNA fragments into the bloodstream. DNA released from cancer cells contains specific genomic alterations associated with cancer that can be detected by liquid biopsy with the OncoK9 test. (OncoK9 indicates whether cancer is currently present in the body; it does not indicate risk for future cancer development.)
