Osteosarcoma Research – Get Involved

   

🎗️Join the Fight Against Osteosarcoma🎗️

Osteosarcoma is a devastating diagnosis that affects far too many greyhounds—and children. At The Greyhound Health Initiative, we’re committed to advancing research that leads to better treatment options and, ultimately, a cure.

Through our collaborative studies with leading institutions, we’re collecting tumor tissue and blood samples to help researchers understand this aggressive cancer and develop early detection tools. If your dog has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma, you may have the opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research that benefits both canine and pediatric patients.

If your dog has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma, please consider participating in one of the research projects below. 

OSA Biomarkers Research Info
 

This IDEXX Labs study is working to detect osteosarcoma before symptoms appear—using just a simple blood sample. If your dog has been diagnosed and you’d like to contribute to this important research, click to learn more.

OSA Research tissue study mason
 

UPenn & CHOP research teams are exploring a new cell-based immunotherapy for dogs with osteosarcoma. Fresh tumor samples collected during amputation are needed for processing. Click here for more information on participating in this study.

Metastatic OSA clinical trial info
 

If your dog has been diagnosed with metastatic osteosarcoma, they may be eligible for a clinical trial at PennVet. This study explores a promising immunotherapy designed to slow disease progression and reduce lung metastases.

Support our mission to advance osteosarcoma research and improve treatment options. Every contribution makes a difference!
