Change is urgently needed. We can’t afford to stall on this when lives are in the balance. Last year alone, overCanadians were expected to be diagnosed with cancer. While exhausted health-care providers are busy doing their very best to get Canadians the life-saving treatments and screenings they need, decision-makers have been tasked with planning for the rising demand being placed on an already fragmented cancer care system.
Those of us in the cancer community can do our part by finding ways to unite and amplify the voices of people with cancer and their loved ones, bringing their lived experiences to the forefront. This year, we’re doing that through our We hear stories of people having to spend hundreds of dollars to get immune-boosting injections after a stem cell transplant. And we hear from people whose life-saving treatments are delayed multiple times, several months at a time, which can feel like an eternity.

Age at cancer diagnosis by breed, weight, sex, and cancer type in a cohort of more than 3,000 dogs: Determining the optimal age to initiate cancer screening in canine patientsThe goal of cancer screening is to detect disease at an early stage when treatment may be more effective. Cancer screening in dogs has relied upon annual physical examinations and routine laboratory tests, which are largely inadequate for detecting preclinical disease. With the introduction of non-invasive liquid biopsy cancer detection methods, the discussion is shifting from how to screen dogs for cancer to when to screen dogs for cancer. To address this question, we analyzed data from 3,452 cancer-diagnosed dogs to determine the age at which dogs of certain breeds and weights are typically diagnosed with cancer. In our study population, the median age at cancer diagnosis was 8.8 years, with males diagnosed at younger ages than females, and neutered dogs diagnosed at significantly later ages than intact dogs. Overall, weight was inversely correlated with age at cancer diagnosis, and purebred dogs were diagnosed at significantly younger ages than mixed-breed dogs. For breeds represented by ≥10 dogs, a breed-based median age at diagnosis was calculated. A weight-based linear regression model was developed to predict the median age at diagnosis for breeds represented by ≤10 dogs and for mixed-breed dogs. Our findings, combined with findings from previous studies which established a long duration of the preclinical phase of cancer development in dogs, suggest that it might be reasonable to consider annual cancer screening starting 2 years prior to the median age at cancer diagnosis for dogs of similar breed or weight. This logic would support a general recommendation to start cancer screening for all dogs at the age of 7, and as early as age 4 for breeds with a lower median age at cancer diagnosis, in order to increase the likelihood of early detection and treatment.
