Project

Pathogenesis and treatment of canine thyroid tumors (CTT)

64 dogs with CTT are included in three clinical trials. Firstly, we will determine the effectiveness of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor (Piroxicam) and tyrosine kinase inhibitor (Toceranib Phosphate) in CTT treatment. Secondly, we will determine the best dosage, route and timing of rhTSH (recombinant-human-thyroid-stimulating-hormone) for radioiodine-131 treatment optimization. Thirdly, we will evaluate the effectiveness of rhTSH in the radioiodine-131 treatment of CTT.
