New Canine Cancer Hope

" Dog lovers rejoice: A new canine-cancer drug announced yesterday promises to save the lives of countless pups.

"It's very exciting," said Manhattan veterinary oncologist Dr. Karen Oberthaler. "It's the first of its kind in veterinary medicine."

The new drug, Palladia, is the first cancer medicine approved by the Food and Drug Administration specifically for dogs.

It's designed to kill mast-cell tumors, one of the most common and deadly forms of canine skin cancer.

It will allow Fido to fight cancer in a manner already available to humans, by specifically targeting the tumor. It could reduce the need for dangerous chemo and radiation therapy for dogs with this kind of cancer.

"It's very targeted," said Oberthaler, who practices at NYC Veterinary Specialists. "It has a lot less toxicity [than radiation and chemo], and for our dogs that's huge. It should really minimize the risk of these things."

The drug is expected to be available to vets in 2010.

Dr. Edwin Brodsky, of the Veterinary Oncology & Hematology Center in Norwalk, Conn., said this may signal a wave of animal cancer drugs.

"It's a very important breakthrough in the treatment of cancer in dogs, and it's something we hope will continue," he said."

I'm sad that it was too late for my Kobey-Rose (photo above)...but hope it helps many others someday.
