Genomics is changing our understanding of cancer

The way we diagnose and treat cancer in pets is evolving, thanks in large part to genomics and precision medicine. And Vidium stands ready to help veterinary teams move into the world of personalized, precision medicine. We combine genomic and molecular diagnostic testing with pathology, providing you with one trusted source for advanced diagnostics.

Our diagnostics leverage the latest science available to provide more information about your patient’s cancer. A better understanding of your patient’s cancer can guide your diagnosis and treatment planning, helping to advance the care of pets with cancer.
