Here's How The Nu.Q® In-House Vet Cancer Test (My Go-To Pet Cancer Screening Test) Works | Volume On To Learn 🔉![]()

If you don't know about this test, here's what you should know:![]()
![]()
The Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Test is a blood test known as a liquid biopsy. It works by measuring nucleosomes, which are pieces of DNA released from cancer cells into the bloodstream. (Nucleosome levels are low in healthy dogs and are elevated in dogs with certain cancers.)![]()

This test helps us detect up to:![]()
![]()
76% of systemic cancers![]()
77% of lymphomas ![]()
82% of hemangiosarcomas ![]()
54% histiocytic sarcomas ![]()

As shown here, the test needs about 2-5 ml of blood from your pet to test. Now, with the in-house point-of-care Element i+ machine, we can get the results back in just six minutes! 🤯![]()

The cost? Running this test is generally inexpensive, but it depends on where you live in the country. ![]()
