Step 4: The Dog Cancer Diet
The urethra is the tube that takes urine from the bladder outside of the body
Chlorambucil is an immunosuppressant and anti-cancer medication used to treat canine cancers “off-label”
Urinary bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) is an important neoplasm in dogs, with the most common clinical signs being hematuria, dysuria, and pollakiuria
Furthermore, metronomic chlorambucil chemotherapy was also not effective for treatment of a dog with an oral carcinoma
Chlorambucil is an immunosuppressant prescribed for dogs with certain types of lymphatic cancers and autoimmune diseases

Recently, a combination of cytoxan, piroxicam and thalidomide was shown to significantly prolong survival times in dogs with advanced primary lung tumors
Step 1: Conventional Treatments Step 2: Nutraceuticals Step 3: Immune Supplements and Anti-Metastatic Supplements Step 4: The Dog Cancer Diet Step 5:
A lot of research in humans has found mutations that increase cancer risk - with the presence of the variant BRCA gene making it more likely a woman might
MECHANISM OF ACTION: Chlorambucil is a derivative of nitrogen mustard and acts as a cell cycle phase-nonspecific bifunctional alkylating agent
Barbara Biller, Veterinarian and Associate
The purpose of this study was to assess the toxicoses and antitumor activity of metronomic chlorambucil at a dosage of 4 mg m −2 daily in dogs with naturally occurring cancer
It can originate in the bone marrow or the spleen and affect both cats and, more commonly, dogs

Cancer in Experimental Animals
Knapp and the team from Purdue, studied the effect of Chlorambucil on 31 dogs with TCC
Additionally, canine urinary bladder TCC has been used as a model to study the muscle-invasive form of urothelial carcinoma in human patients (3–4)
Canine mammary cancer (CMC) represents 50% of CMTs, and besides surgery, which is the elective treatment, additional targeted and non-targeted therapies could offer benefits in terms of survival to these patients
Step 1: Conventional Treatments
The typical protocol I employ for dogs is an oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug combined with oral alkylating chemotherapy drug called chlorambucil (Leukeran)
on alternate days) may be given as an alternative for cyclophosphamide if haemorrhagic cystitis develops
Conventional chemotherapy is the systemic administration of drugs at the highest maximum tolerated dosages to kill cancer cells
Chlorambucil is an alkylating agent that combats spreading of cancer by binding or breaking DNA strands and biochemicals so cells can't divide and In dogs, it is used to treat several cancers such as: 2
With canine immunotherapy, your dog may receive a cancer vaccine (there is one for melanoma), or the vet may take the dog’s immune cells and teach them to kill cancerous cells
Recently, a combination of cytoxan, piroxicam and thalidomide was shown to significantly prolong survival times in dogs with advanced primary lung tumors
