This test utilises the acute phase proteins (C-Reactive Protein and Haptoglobin). In combination with basic clinical symptoms, it gives in differential diagnosis the sensitivity 83.5% and specificity 77%. [16] The TK canine cancer panel is an indicator of general neoplastic disease. [17] The stage of the disease is important to treatment and ...
