Article Synopsis
- Canine urothelial carcinoma (UC) and prostatic carcinoma (PC) are challenging to diagnose due to their locations, but the BRAF V595E mutation can aid in detection.
- A new conventional PCR method was developed to identify this mutation in urine and prostatic wash samples from dogs, as existing digital PCR methods require equipment that's not widely available.
- The study found a 51.6% mutation detection rate in tissue samples and 53.2% in liquid samples, suggesting that this PCR method is a reliable non-invasive screening tool for these cancers in dogs.
