Cancer affects far too many dogs, and better treatment options are urgently needed. In Episode 10 of Sit. Stay. Learn., Dr. Adrienne Wright reviews the paper “Autologous Cancer Vaccines: A Precision Immunotherapy Strategy for Veterinary Cancer Patients” and explains how autologous cancer vaccines may offer a more personalized way to fight cancer in dogs. This episode covers tumor antigens, neoantigens, checkpoint inhibitors, and why veterinary immunotherapy is an area to watch.

In this episode of Sit. Stay. Learn., we discuss a 2025 Frontiers in Pain Research perspective on outcome assessment in veterinary pain studies. The episode explores why pain measurement remains such a challenge in veterinary medicine, the role of owner assessments, gait analysis, activity monitoring, and biomarkers, and why better outcome measures are essential for advancing research and improving patient care.

In this episode of Sit. Stay. Learn, Dr. Adrienne Wright breaks down a recent JAVMA paper examining how centrifugation force and spin time change the final composition of canine PRP. We cover what the protocols did to platelet yield, leukocyte/RBC carryover, and key growth factors like PDGF and TGF-β1—plus the biggest takeaway: optimization data from one device doesn’t automatically translate across all PRP systems. Message of the day: know what’s in your syringe.
