IDEXX Enables Improved Cancer Diagnosis and Personalized Care through Expanded Oncology Offering


WESTBROOK, Maine, Jan. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDXX), a global leader in pet healthcare innovation, announced today the expansion of its reference laboratory menu of tests and services that will enable veterinarians to better meet the challenges of diagnosing and treating cancer. Building on its expertise in cancer pathology, IDEXX continues to expand what's possible to enhance the lives of pets by providing veterinarians with comprehensive cancer diagnostics and support services.

"IDEXX understands the challenges that veterinarians are experiencing when it comes to diagnosing, staging, and treating cancer," said Jay Mazelsky, IDEXX President and Chief Executive Officer. "As veterinarians strive to advance the standard of care for their patients, we continue to support them through innovations like accessible genomic cancer diagnostic tests and services."

The extended menu, which will be available later this month to customers of IDEXX Reference Laboratories in the United States and Canada, includes:

IDEXX's expanded oncology offering addresses the needs of a growing pet population and the increasing demand on veterinarians to diagnose and treat cancer. In the U.S. alone, roughly 6 million new cancer diagnoses are made in dogs, and a similar number are made in cats each year.1 Additionally, IDEXX's team of global pathologists review over 1 million suspected cancer case submissions annually.

Each cancer case is complex and can be overwhelming, especially considering the stress on both the patient and the pet owner. IDEXX creates clarity for veterinarians through the extended menu of cancer diagnostics and pathology services and by connecting them with medical experts that can provide guidance on managing cancer cases. IDEXX's expanded offering facilitates more efficient case management and patient care for general practitioners and oncology specialists.
