Guest JoyceandSammy Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 NEW VACCINE BEING EVALUATED FOR BONE CANCER Osteosarcoma (bone cancer)is most commonly seen in large and giant breeds of dogs. It is an aggressive cancer that frequently affects the long bones. Despite limb amputation and chemotherapy, many dogs die from the cancer that spreads to their lungs. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine are evaluating a new vaccine for dogs that have been diagnosed with osteosarcoma. **If your dog has recently been diagnosed with bone cancer, or is currently undergoing chemotherapy for bone cancer, he/she may be eligible for vaccination. Details of the study, including the benefits of enrollment, are available at: http://www.vet.upenn.edu/Research/BasicandClinicalResearch/CanineCancerStudies/BoneCancerStudy/tabid/2392/Default.aspx If you are interested in learning more about this study, please contact the Principal Investigator, Dr. Nicola Mason, at (215) 898-3996 or nmason@vet.upenn.edu Nicola Mason BVetMed PhD DACVIM Pamela Cole Chair in Companion Animal Medicine Assistant Professor of Medicine University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine 315 Hill Pavilion 380 South University Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19104 Tel: (215) 898-3996 Fax: (215) 746-2295 Cynthia M.
