Brief Bio (include professional interests, hobbies, etc.): Dr. Gerald Post is one of only approximately two hundred board-certified veterinary oncologists in the United States. Dr. Post graduated with distinction from Cornell University in 1983 and received his DVM degree from the University of Minnesota in 1988. In 1991, he completed a residency in Oncology at the Animal Medical Center in New York and in 1992 became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine. Dr. Post has authored many papers and book chapters on the topics of oncology and hematology, and was recently recognized by New York magazine as one of the best veterinarians in the tri-state area. Recently Dr. Post and colleagues authored two seminal papers significantly advancing the treatment of both B-cell lymphoma and T-cell lymphoma in dogs. Dr. Post has devoted his life to animals and always had a strong interest in small animal oncology. He champions the field of comparative oncology every chance he gets. He truly believes that the knowledge gained through comparative oncology can be used to cure many cancers not only in animals but humans as well. Dr. Post is very interested in helping save endangered species and is currently working on a number of projects looking at how to leverage interdisciplinary knowledge to help save wildlife.

Jaqueline, Although not common, this disease entity has been around for a long time. Long before we started vaccinating on the limbs. As for whether this disease is more or less common now, that is unknown as our epidemiologic data is severely lacking. Gerry

Steven, For me, whether we use once or twice daily depends more on client preference, than on anything else. Both dosing regimens should work.G

Thank you for posting these wonderful studies. We definitely need more effective therapies for feline oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Steven, I would use an anti-inflammatory dose that you are comforatable. I typically use 30 mg/m2 as my high dose, but there is no magic in that number. My typical cat dose is 5 mg BID unless the cat is below 5 kg, in which case I use 5 mg once daily--and I always use prednisolone in cats. G
