The edge of a resected specimen (the 'margin') is a cornerstone concept of cancer care. Here one of our surgical oncologists is painting the cut surfaces of a recently excised soft tissue sarcoma (cytology top left). The ink stays on the tissues throughout fixation (formalin), and trimming, mounting and staining (H&E) of the tissue slide. If the pathologist sees sarcoma cells 'touching' tissue ink, then cancer extended to the specimen margin. Our cancer clinicians will then discuss the findings and present options to the family.

Did you know we offer a Canine Pericardial Effusion Panel - another of our One-Of-A-Kind tests? Using TK1 from serum and TK1 from pericardial fluid, we are able to determine if the source of the effusion is due to cancer using a TK1 ratio.

🐾Veterinarians: Help Us Find Dogs for a Groundbreaking Bone Cancer Study! Southpaws is conducting a pilot trial with international experts to test a new radiation therapy, Microbeam Radiation Therapy (MRT), for treating bone cancer (osteosarcoma) in dogs. We're seeking dogs diagnosed with bone cancer (distal radius, distal, or proximal tibia), weighing over 20kg, to participate. Eligibility requirements: 🐾Good overall health 🐾No metastatic disease 🐾Able to undergo three anaesthetic procedures in two weeks What’s covered: 🐾Diagnostic imaging (CT, MRI) 🐾Tumour biopsy 🐾MRT treatment 🐾First chemotherapy session Screenings happening now! To learn more or refer a case, contact Dr. Stewart Ryan at info@southpaws.com.au. Let's help dogs fight bone cancer! #southpaws #petcare #pethealth #VeterinaryResearch #BoneCancerAwareness #Osteosarcoma #DogHealth #CanineCancer #MicrobeamRadiation #PetWellness #CancerResearch

This month's message is an essential one. Early spay/neuter avoids many problems later on. Check these tips. Did You Know: *Spaying kittens before five months reduces their risk of mammary gland cancer by 91%. Mammary gland cancer takes the lives of an estimated 75,000 cats every year. *Spaying kittens before five months eliminates the risk of pyometra early in life. *Surgeries on younger, smaller cats are shorter in duration and easier to perform. #FixByFive
