Duke Doctors, NCSU Team Up Against Cancer

Eliza, a 13-year old Labrador retriever from Charlotte, is a four-legged miracle. Almost a year and a half ago, her cancer was essentially cured during a clinical trial at N.C. State University’s vet school. Now Eliza and other canine patients might teach researchers something about cancer in their two-legged friends. The Duke Cancer Institute and NCSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine have formed the Consortium for Canine Comparative Oncology, or C3O for short.
