"Faculty members in the University of Missouri's Scott Endowed Program in Veterinary Oncology participated in COTC's first trial.

"Spontaneous cancers in companion dogs offer a unique, and largely unexplored translational research opportunity for cancer imaging, device and drug development," said Carolyn Henry, professor and director of the Scott Endowed Program in Veterinary Oncology in the MU College of Veterinary Medicine. "Comparative oncology at MU has a long history of advancing cancer treatments in both humans and dogs. In the first COTC trial, we examined a novel drug-delivery method that disrupts blood flow to the tumors but not to the surrounding tissue. The results were effective, and we observed a dramatic decrease in the size of the tumor in one of our patients.""
