In this episode of the Veterinary Cancer Pioneers Podcast, host Dr. Rachel Venable welcomes Dr. David Ruslander, a dual-trained medical and radiation veterinary oncologist and past president of the Veterinary Cancer Society. Dr. Ruslander shares how he found his way into a specialty that barely existed at the time, including a formative chapter helping build veterinary oncology programs in Europe. The conversation covers how multimodality thinking shapes his approach to every case, how advances in radiation technology have expanded what is treatable, and why staying curious and current is non-negotiable for anyone who signed on for a career in veterinary medicine.

In this episode of the Veterinary Cancer Pioneers Podcast, host Dr. Rachel Venable welcomes Dr. Karin Sorenmo, Professor Emeritus of Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine and co-founder of Lesley's Place. Dr. Sorenmo shares her journey from Norway to becoming a leading researcher in canine mammary tumors and discusses the complex role hormones play in tumor development and progression. The conversation explores how spaying patterns influence mammary cancer risk, why classification and pathology remain challenging worldwide, and what dogs can teach us about breast cancer through comparative oncology. Dr. Sorenmo also highlights the mission of Lesley's Place, where homeless dogs with mammary tumors receive surgical care, follow-up, and the opportunity to find loving homes while contributing valuable insights to cancer research.

In this episode of the Veterinary Cancer Pioneers Podcast, host Dr. Rachel Venable welcomes Dr. Guannan Wang, founder of VetOmics, to discuss how comprehensive genomic profiling is advancing precision oncology for dogs. Dr. Wang shares her path from molecular biology research to veterinary cancer genomics, and explains why the field is shifting from "should we use genomics?" to "how do we do it well?" The conversation covers how genomic testing can guide therapy selection, support difficult diagnoses, and help identify true cancer drivers, while emphasizing the importance of real-world outcome follow-up and biomarker-guided combination strategies to improve patient care.
