So, #4 My startup is legitimately planning to use Sinclair Minipigs (or another large-format animal) for our curative stage IV breast cancer (bone mets) therapy. One of the difficult things about this is that there isn't an easy way to give pigs breast cancer (you have to completely immunosuppress them and inject them with human breast cancer). Sooooo we might be focusing on another cancer like prostate, lung, or osteosarcoma to start, instead. Still trying to work this out...

Awesome work Eric, why not start with osteosarcoma or prostate, it will be easier to induce it in mammals than Lung cancer

Osteosarcoma in canines is a very viable route.

I feel cervical and breast will be easier in canines, my dog died of cervical cancer 5 years ago, that was the first time I heard animals could get canceršŸ˜‚
