PharmaCom BioVet, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PHMB) is pleased to announce a
formal collaborative agreement with PetScreen, LTD, BioCity
Nottingham, UK, to help improve cancer diagnosis and treatment for
canines. PetScreen is the leading innovator of early detection of
canine cancer. With one in three dogs developing cancer, early
detection increases the chance of successful treatment and
survival.
Dr. Kevin Slater, Chief Executive Officer of the PetScreen, LTD
Board of Directors, confirmed his company's participation by
stating, "I am very pleased that our two companies have agreed to
collaborate both commercially and technically to implement a range
of new technologies aimed at improving cancer diagnosis and
treatment in companion animals. We believe that this collaboration
will go a long way toward achieving our mutual goals," concluded
Slater.
PetScreen, LTD, formally incorporated in 2004 by Slater and
board Chairman, Professor Graeme Radcliffe, was founded by people
who have lost their pets to cancer and by experienced scientists
who have worked on new methods for the detection and treatment of
cancer in companion animals. They use the latest proven scientific
developments to provide veterinarians with improved testing
methodologies to help them make better diagnostic and treatment
decisions for companion animals with cancer.
PetScreen, LTD is actively engaged in a comprehensive profile of
services, combining testing, treatment and networking of national
and international collaborators to provide services and support to
the veterinary cancer patient. Gary Berthold, President and CEO of
PharmaCom BioVet, Inc., added his enthusiasm for the agreement
saying, "In forming this cooperative relationship with PetScreen,
LTD, we are continuing to broaden our links with cancer scientists
and veterinary leaders on a world-wide basis; thus increasing the
opportunities for a greater range of research, diagnosis and
treatment technologies, and hastening the progress towards
treatment efficacy and an eventual cure of canine cancers."
After losing two of their prize Siberian Huskies to cancer,
PharmaCom BioVet, Inc. founders, Gary and Sharon Berthold, were
inspired to search for meaningful remedies to this dreaded killer
of companion canines. In their research, they discovered two
alarming facts: 1) Statistically, one in three dogs is diagnosed
with cancer at some time in their life, and at least 50% of those
dogs are likely to succumb. 2) Historically, there has been an
alarming lack of viable treatment options and facilities for
companion animals suffering from cancer. Armed with this evidence
and their own personal commitment, the Bertholds founded PharmaCom
BioVet, Inc. to aggressively advance the establishment of
leading-edge, compassionate-care treatment centers using the latest
scientific breakthroughs in cancer treatment.
Teaming up with international industry leaders such as
PetScreen, LTD of Nottingham, UK and IsoTherapeutics Group, LLC of
Angleton, Texas, PharmaCom BioVet, Inc. is actively engaged in
supporting global research, diagnosis and novel cancer treatment
methodologies. "Our ultimate goal is to eradicate cancer in
companion animals. To accomplish this great task, we are
collaborating with the brightest minds in cancer research and
oncology treatment programs around the world," stated Berthold.
