SUMMARY: Researchers will investigate whether their newly developed urine testing method, Raman molecular urinalysis (RMU), can detect signs of hemangiosarcoma (HSA).
SUMMARY: Researchers will identify the volatile organic compound (VOC) profile of hemangiosarcoma using bio-detection dogs as a step toward a diagnostic test for the disease.
SUMMARY: Researchers will compare the genetics of golden retrievers diagnosed with histiocytic sarcoma to those without the disease to look for predisposing genetic variants.
