Regarding The Auburn Study For Osteosarcoma

[Annette]

There was a post not long ago regarding a study that used a virus to treat bone cancer. http://forum.greytalk.com/index.php/topic/320545-article-on-new-osa-therapy-being-tested/

 

I posted the study on facebook in a couple different canine cancer pages and someone pointed out that the article was dated 2013, so I wanted to get more information.

 

I contacted the school and Bruce F. Smith V.M.D., Ph.D., Director, Auburn University Research Initiative in Cancer, Professor of Pathobiology, responded.

The original study which was funded by the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation ended in 2015, but the school is continuing to modify the virus to make it more effective.

There is a more recent story on the school's work in the winter issue of the Auburn Veterinarian on pages 27 - 28: I tried posting the link here but it will not paste. If you "google" the auburn veterinarian magazine you should be able to find a link to their Winter 2017 issue.

Here is a press release also from November 2016: http://www.vetmed.auburn.edu/blog/cvm-news/vetmed-autodesk-gen9-collaborate-create-longest-synthetic-virus-cancer-research/
