Comprehensive Genomic Profiling for Dogs with Cancer

Can a Tumor’s DNA Help Guide Cancer Treatment?

Dogs with the same type of cancer can have very different genetic changes driving their tumors. This can affect which treatments may be most relevant for each patient.

In this webinar, Dr. Guannan Wang, founder of VetOmics, discusses Comprehensive Genomic Profiling (CGP) and how genomic testing can help veterinarians better understand a dog’s individual cancer.

The discussion explores VetOmics’ K9 CGP test, which uses whole exome sequencing to analyze more than 20,000 genes. Dr. Wang explains how this information may support diagnosis and help identify potential options across targeted therapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiation.

The webinar also covers tumor mutation burden (TMB), real canine cancer cases, and how genomic profiling could help move veterinary oncology toward more personalized treatment decisions.

Key Quotes:

“Eventually, ultimately, we want to treat the dogs and cats based on their unique molecular and genomic biomarkers.”

“For [an] inhibitor to work, the patient has to have a vulnerability or defects in that pathway for that inhibitor to be effective. That is why biomarker-based treatment guidance is important.”

“Having multiple treatment options not only provides an alternative when the first-line therapy fails, it also offers a rationale for combination therapies.”
