Plain-English summary
Veterinary medicine is evolving with new approaches to treating cancer in pets, similar to what is happening in human medicine. This new method, called genomic cancer medicine, uses advanced genetic and molecular techniques to help diagnose and treat cancer more effectively. Many pet owners are starting to ask for these advanced treatments, so it's important for veterinarians to understand both the benefits and challenges of these new options. Overall, this shift aims to improve how we manage complex diseases like cancer in pets.
Abstract
We introduce a next phase in the evolution of medicine affecting human and veterinary patients. This evolution, genomic cancer medicine (Pmed), involves expansion of genomic and molecular biology into clinical medicine. The implementation of these new technologies has already begun and is a commercial reality. We introduce the underpinnings for this evolution, and focus on application in complex disease states. Pet owners have begun requesting Pmed technologies. To meet this demand, it is important to be aware of the opportunities and obstacles associated with available Pmed offerings as well as the current state of the field.
