Paired Analysis of D-Dimer and Its Correlated Hemostatic Parameters in 30 Dogs with Neoplasms after Tumorectomy
D-Dimer may serve as a potential biomarker for tumor presence
The study investigates D-dimer and hemostatic parameter changes in 30 dogs with neoplasms before and after tumorectomy. It highlights that tumor-bearing dogs exhibit significantly elevated D-dimer levels compared to healthy controls. Post-surgery, D-dimer, fibrinogen, and thromboelastography G values significantly decreased, indicating potential tumor burden reduction. The findings suggest these biomarkers, particularly D-dimer, may help assess tumor progression and response to surgical treatment in dogs. However, the study calls for further research due to limitations such as a small sample size, tumor type heterogeneity, and a lack of long-term monitoring.
