Cancer Screening for Dogs

We offer state-of-the-art noninvasive canine cancer testing with HT Vista.

How do I know if the lump on my pet is cancerous?

Many pet owners ask themselves this question when they find a lump or mass on their canine companion. Finding out whether or not your pet may have cancer usually involves taking an invasive cancer biopsy, most often under anesthesia. With advances in veterinary oncology technology, there is now another option.

At Advanced Veterinary Care of Greenwood Village, we are thrilled to offer HT Vista, an advanced, AI-powered screening tool that detects skin cancer in dogs. With nearly 50% of dogs over the age of 10 developing cancer—and a significant portion of those cases involving the skin—early diagnosis is crucial for successful treatment. We are proud to bring this state-of-the-art technology to pet owners in Greenwood Village and the Denver area.

HT Vista is a safe, non-invasive, and highly accurate screening device that eliminates the need for needles and provides results within minutes. This makes it a convenient and cost-effective option for pet owners seeking peace of mind. The process is quick, with our veterinary professionals performing a 40-second scan and delivering results in just two minutes.

Your Dog’s Cancer Testing with HT Vista

HT Vista uses heat diffusion imaging (HDI) to determine whether a skin lump on your dog is likely benign or requires further evaluation. The device gently warms the mass before allowing it to cool, monitoring how the tissue responds to temperature changes. Since healthy and abnormal tissues hold heat differently due to differences in structure, metabolism, and blood flow, the system’s AI analyzes this data to produce a precise assessment for your pet’s lump.

The mass on your canine companion receives an HDI score between 1 and 10, along with a percentage estimating the likelihood that it is benign. For example, a score of 10 suggests a 99% probability that the lump is non-cancerous, whereas a score of 4 indicates an 89% chance of being benign. Based on the results, we can discuss whether additional testing—such as a fine needle aspiration with cytology—might be necessary if your dog has a lower-score lump.

HT Vista FAQs

What happens during a dog cancer screening appointment?
During your visit, we will conduct a full-body exam of your dog, evaluate the lump or lumps of concern, and perform the scan. Please note that we will need to shave a small area of fur for accurate results. If a lump scores on the lower end, we may recommend further testing, such as a fine needle aspiration, punch biopsy, or mass removal for laboratory analysis.
