SWABBED fr this Research. Our goal was 500 GSD's which we have easily met. The
swabs will be shipped to you in 2 weeks. I may have a few left over (intended
for SHOWS) so if anyone else would like some please e-mail quantity and
address. Once again THANKS.
Also emember in the future, IF one of your dogs cmes down with one of these
Cancers, they would like a sample and blood. please keep this info for future
reference.

"I'm writing to ask for support from practitioners - the Van Andel
Research Institute in Michigan is the recipient of a National Cancer
Institute Go! Grant to study cancer in canines and humans. The
initial focus is on five main tumor types (canine only at this point):
1) Osteosarcoma
2) Hemangiosarcoma
3) Lymphoma
4) Malignant histiocytosis
5) Melanoma (oral or digital)
We are asking for submissions of *FRESH* tumor samples (not in
formalin) and 3-5 mls of blood in an EDTA tube, along with a signed
owner consent form. If the dog has already had the mass removed, and
there is a histologically confirmed diagnosis of one of the above
tumor types, we would be pleased to receive a blood sample. All
submissions must include the signed consent form and histo
report confirming the diagnosis. With advance notice, we can
overnight a tumor collection kit to your practice.
The Van Andel is a world class human cancer research institute. We
are very hopeful these studies will lead to earlier diagnostics, as
well as improved and individualized therapies for both dogs and people.
