Did you know that these spontaneous cancers in dogs and cats share many
features with human cancers? Chemotherapy, radiation therapy,
hypothermia and immunotherapy are all used to fight cancer in the pet
animal, and many naturally occurring cancers in pets closely resemble
human cancer and provide meaningful systems for cancer research.
Veterinarian scientists are uniquely qualified to be comparative
oncologists - researchers who study naturally-occurring cancers in
animals as models for human disease. The University of Pennsylvania
School of Veterinary Medicine provides an outstanding environment for
the training of future veterinary scientists through our combined
VMD-PhD (DVM-PhD) program. It's an excellent way for you to continue
your education while impacting the future of medicine for humans and
all species. Find out more at www.pennvetphd.org
