episode 118: Whiskey and the MIMIC Study for Minimally Invasive Metastasectomy in Canines
Tripawd Talk Radio Episode #118: What is the MIMIC study for Minimally Invasive Metastasectomy in Canines, and what does Whiskey have to do with it?
Today we're going to talk about Whiskey and lung mets. We have two guests to help us learn all about a clinical trial studying advancements in treatment for metastatic cancer in dogs.
Dr. Chris Thomson is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, who specializes in surgical oncology, minimally invasive surgery, and interventional radiology. He is also an active participant in clinical research with Ethos Discovery, with projects focusing on minimally invasive treatments for osteosarcoma and other cancers. And that's why we're excited to to talk with him today.
Dr Thomson is working on the MIMIC clinical study for Minimally Invasive Metastasectomy in Canines. That's a mouthful, but it means making advances in resection of lung metastases in dogs, with quicker recovery, some surprising results, AND more data toward finding curative treatments for metastatic cancers.
And that's Where Whiskey comes in. We recently profiled this canine cancer hero in the Tripawds News blog. She received treatment for lung mets from osteosarcoma in the MIMIC trials. So, we also have Whiskey's mom Eleni Merkh joining us to tell us how that went.
