Presentation Description / Summary: Molecular diagnostics have become commonplace in veterinary oncology. This presentation will provide a practical, in-depth guide to key molecular diagnostic techniques, including flow cytometry, PCR for antigen receptor rearrangement (PARR), liquid biopsy, and tumor genomic panels. We'll cover the fundamental principles of how each test works, the specific sample requirements, and how to accurately interpret the results. The goal is to empower the listener with the knowledge to confidently select and effectively utilize these advanced diagnostic tools, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will have an understanding of the difference between flow cytometry and PARR, and know when to use each diagnostic test.
Upon completion, participants will have a basic understanding of liquid biopsy techniques, including the tests available and when to use this diagnostic modality.
Upon completion, participants will have an understanding of genomic profiling and the pros and cons of this diagnostic modality.
