Dog Cancer Causes Hiding In Your Home | Lauren Trepanier, DVM, Ph.D., DACVCP, DACVIM (SAIM) #257
Originally recorded in 2022, this episode features Dr. Lauren Trepanier from the University of Wisconsin, revealing her groundbreaking research into the link between environmental pollution and dog cancer.
Key Topics:
Environmental Pollutants and Cancer in Dogs: Dr. Trepanier’s research links pollutants such as ozone, benzene, trichloroethylene, and herbicides to cancer in dogs.
Lymphoma Study: Ongoing studies on Boxers and Golden Retrievers with lymphoma aim to determine how air pollutants, including ozone and VOCs, may trigger cancer.
Bladder Cancer Study: The research also investigates dogs with bladder cancer, focusing on household pollutants like arsenic and acrolein, which are linked to bladder cancer in humans.
Human-Dog Connection: Dr. Trepanier explains how dogs' cancer risks from pollutants can also provide insight into potential cancer risks for humans.
One Health Initiative: The episode discusses how the One Health initiative encourages collaboration between veterinary and human medical professionals to advance research and treatment.
Practical Applications: Dr. Trepanier offers suggestions on how dog owners can mitigate cancer risks, including reducing exposure to VOCs and herbicides.
