LSU Oncologists Seek Cancer Patients for Clinical Research Trials

Oncologists in the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine's Cancer Treatment
Unit are investigating novel treatments for several different types of
cancer and are actively seeking cancer
patients to participate in ongoing clinical research trials for these
new studies.

LSU oncologists Drs. Neal and Glenna Mauldin are involved in many
laboratory and clinical research projects, including analyzing and
understanding the effect of altering blood supply to
tumors by inhibiting angiogenesis, as well as novel studies on breast
cancer in cats and dogs.

The Mauldins are seeking cats with mammary gland tumors and oral
squamous cell carcinoma. They are also in need of dogs with previously
treated, relapsed lymphoma; non-resectable
and/or metastatic oral melanoma; and non-resectable mast cell tumors.
Most of the clinical research trials are partially or completely funded.

Veterinarians with patients that might fit the mentioned criteria and
would like to discuss possible qualifications for the study may contact
Gaye Gomila, clinical research associate, at
(225) 578-9526, or Maura Egan, oncology research associate, at (225)
578-9548.
