The American Veterinary Medical Association estimates that approximately half of dogs aged 10 and older will develop cancer.1 Fast, convenient tools with rapid results are crucial for managing neoplasia, and with Nu.Q? on the Element i+?, you can inform owners of their pet’s risk for certain canine cancers in a matter of minutes during senior patient wellness exams.* Nu.Q? on the Element i+ is the industry's only in-house canine cancer screening blood test to assess the risk for certain diseases, including lymphoma and hemangiosarcoma. Indicated for all dogs aged 7 and older, Nu.Q? on the Element i+ enables you to give pet owners vital information while the patient is still in the exam room. ??Tap the link to discover how Nu.Q? on the Element i+ can help you get (and give) more from senior wellness visits: https://hubs.li/Q02YKV5L0 *Nu.Q?? is not a confirmatory test for cancer. Nu.Q?? results should act as an impetus to perform additional diagnostics to obtain a diagnosis. Elevated plasma nucleosome concentration does not tell you which cancer is present, and further diagnostics will be needed. Certain inflammatory conditions may increase plasma nucleosome concentration and in these instances Nu.Q? cannot differentiate between cancer and an inflammatory response.

This number becomes even more sobering when you consider how many dogs won’t receive a cancer diagnosis this year –– but should. That’s why Antech offers innovative canine cancer detection and screening options that are both accurate and accessible: ?? Nu.Q? on the Element i+? is the industry's only in-house canine cancer screening blood test to determine the current likelihood of certain diseases, including lymphoma and hemangiosarcoma, helping you refine your differential diagnosis list in minutes.* ?? CADET? BRAF identifies ~85% of transitional cell carcinoma/urothelial carcinoma (TCC/UC) cases by evaluating free-catch urine samples from dogs for the presence of cells harboring the BRAF mutation. ?? CADET? BRAF-PLUS provides further evaluation of dogs with clinical signs, but for whom no BRAF mutation is detected, and finds approximately 2/3 of the TCC/UC cases not identified by CADET BRAF. ??Tap the link to explore these cancer detection tests in more detail: https://hubs.li/Q02X_vYf0 *Nu.Q?? is not a confirmatory test for cancer.

“The World Health Organization has ranked antimicrobial resistance (which includes antibiotics and anthelmintics) as one of the top global health threats. One of the things I’m most proud of from the past year at Antech is how we’re using test data we receive from veterinary teams to create decision-making algorithms that assist veterinarians in difficult and nuanced situations, like Giardia treatment. We no longer have the mentality that we have to kill every bug we detect in our veterinary patients.” — Michelle Evason, BSc, DVM, DACVIM (SAIM), MRCVS Antech’s Global Director of Veterinary Clinical Education One Health is top of mind at Antech every day –– because we understand that making a better world for pets coincides with making a better world for their people. Antimicrobial resistance is changing the way we think about (and treat) parasites –– including ones that pose a zoonotic risk. Tap these links to access the KeyScreen?
