ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of Curing with Sound, we speak with Ashish Ranjan, PhD, a professor of radiation oncology and director of the Veterinary Research and Oncology Clinic at the University of Texas Southwestern. Dr. Ranjan discusses how emerging focused ultrasound applications, including histotripsy and sonodynamic therapy, are being used to treat solid tumors in companion animals.
He explains how veterinary oncology research contributes to advances in human medicine, shares findings from ongoing clinical studies, and explores the potential of combining focused ultrasound with immunotherapy, radiation therapy, and other cancer treatments. Learn how comparative oncology is helping shape the future of personalized, noninvasive cancer care for both veterinary and human patients.
Discussion highlights:
- The One Health Approach: Learn how studying naturally occurring diseases in companion animals can accelerate therapeutic development, providing a powerful bridge between veterinary and human medicine and helping researchers evaluate new treatments more efficiently.
- Veterinary Research and Oncology Clinic (VROC): Discover how VROC combines advanced clinical care with cutting-edge research to offer dogs and cats access to innovative cancer treatments. The clinic evaluates emerging technologies, such as focused ultrasound, and other novel therapies, and maintains a strong focus on patient comfort, quality of life, and individualized care.
