dmdsmoxie Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 When I saw bone cancer was one of the cancers this drug worked on in humans it made me think about it working in dogs. One thing that caught my eye was this: The patients all carried genetic mutations that kept their cells from fixing damaged DNA. So I assume that not all humans carry those genetic mutations and I have no idea whether some dogs do and others don't or if none do or all do. https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/new-cancer-drug-effective-tumors-fda-approved-immediately-164122959.html I hope it works in both people and animals.
