WCVM research teams search for potential candidates

Two research teams at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) are asking for assistance in locating potential participants for animal health research studies at the veterinary college.

Radiation oncology

WCVM researchers are seeking canine patients for two radiation oncology clinical trials. If you have patients that would be potential candidates for an oral melanoma study and a mast cell tumour study, please share this information with your clients. For more information, contact Dr. Monique Mayer.

Equine hormone baseline study

WCVM researchers are seeking client-owned healthy horses as well as horses diagnosed with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) for a hormone baseline study.
 
The team is conducting a collaborative study with Prairie Diagnostic Services (PDS), Saskatchewan's provincial veterinary diagnostic laboratory. Once published, the study's results will help to establish reference values for hormones that accurately reflect the horse population in Canada's western provinces.
