Description
SearchLight DNA is an add-on test to any biopsy or cytology where cancer is suspected or diagnosed. This test provides precision diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic guidance for multiple types of cancers.

This canine cancer genomic panel identifies mutations in 120 relevant cancer genes and provides insights into cancer’s origin, behavior, and the optimal approach for treatment.

Report includes:

- Information about mutations in 120 cancer genes including diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic biomarker associations with supporting evidence from peer-reviewed literature, clinical consensus, and inference from human FDA guidance.

- Pharmacogenomic marker (MDR1) mutation status.

- A list of targeted therapeutic drug(s) if the patient’s tumor mutations are a match for an existing drug.

- Information on clinical trials by tumor type curated from public databases and individual academic centers by Vidium Animal Health.

Description
The tissue will be evaluated by a boarded pathologist with a special interest in hepatic disease. A full written biopsy report will be provided, including source, history, description of submitted tissue, microscopic description, and diagnosis where possible. Trichrome, rhodanine, and reticulum staining and interpretation are included. The report will include the staging of fibrosis, evaluation of the degree of parenchymal collapse, and a qualitative copper grade. Internal pathologist to pathologist opinions are sought when needed. There is an option for further discussion with an internal medicine consultant with a special interest in hepatic disease.

Note: firmly and evenly tighten the lid of the formalin jar and check for any leaks prior to placing the sample in a ziplock/sealable bag with the test requisition form. A comprehensive history should be included with each biopsy submission, including the breed, age, and time when liver values were first noted to be elevated. Additional diagnostics performed as well as responses to any specific treatments should be included in the history.
