Share Link: bit.ly/ttr020812
*You do not need to call to hear the show. Listen live here and join us in the chat room or call (310) 388-9739 with your questions.
The primary focus of Dr. Biller’s research is on the interactions between the anti-tumor immune response and metronomic chemotherapy. Recently she completed a study for Morris Animal Foundation (MAF) in which she evaluated metronomic chemotherapy treatment on dogs with soft-tissue sarcoma.
During the study, it was Dr. Biller’s mission to learn more specifics on how to treat dogs using metronomics. She says:
“Even though veterinarians have been using metronomic chemotherapy on patients, we have been guessing on important factors like what drugs we should use, what dose is needed and at what intervals we should treat the patient. We hope to determine some of those factors.”
Dr. Biller is also involved in a number of collaborative studies with investigators at the University of Colorado Cancer Center and the Garden State Cancer Center evaluating immunotherapies in dogs with lymphoma and brain tumors.

I am working that day but I would love top know which drug(s) she uses for the chemo part. I have used Cytoxan and CCNU but other vets have also used Leukeran and Melphalen. Sometimes dogs have to stop the Cytoxan due to side effects so I would love to have other options to go to.

Zeus is on the third of six Carboplatin treatments and a lung met has appeared. I would love to know her opinion on whether to continue/finish the traditional chemo protocol (Carboplatin) once a met has appeared or whether she recommends stopping that and starting Metronomic Chemo. Thanks!

Kim (aka: ubbuny) posted this question on the blog post announcing the show…
My 9yo greyhound is currently on metronomic therapy following diagnosis, amputation, and chemotherapy with bone cancer. He has been on an every other day dosage (he doesn’t tolerate everyday dosage) since February 2011. In your opinion, how long should he continue this treatment as there is a fine line between keeping the cancer from growing and causing damage from cychlophosphamide to his organs? One of his oncologists says he will be on his therapy until the end and his other oncologist wants him to be off the therapy by this time next year if he is still with us.
