Species360 has formed a partnership with @CancerInExotics with support from @ace_arizona to enhance abilities for Species360 members to inform cancer #research. The partnership has led to new feature enhancements to #ZIMS for #Medical. species360.org/2022/08/new-i…

New global meta-analysis (1994–2019) of the prevalence of fibropapillomatosis (cancer) in green sea turtles and associated risk factors. Prevalence is high in eutrophicated areas with high phytoplankton concentrations, likely due to exposure to biotoxins. mdpi.com/1303382

So happy to have ZIMS as a partner. Making data secure, searchable and current to further non-domestic research. Great talk Dr. Rachel Thompson! @CancerInExotics @zooexoticcancer #cancerXspecies
Dr. Carlo Maley- Leader of the Cancer Avenger Team, working on the BIG picture of comparative cancer. More great partners for ESCRA. #cancerXspecies @CancerInExotics @zooexoticcancer @amy_boddy cancer-insights.asu.edu/

Session 3 at the Cancer Across Species conference includes a talk on Why it hurts: a comparative medicine approach to studying pain in cancer patients by Michael Nolan, DVM, PhD. #cancerXspecies @CancerInExotics @zooexoticcancer

Jaguars also exhibit BRCA-like gene mutations and associated cancers. Great talk by Dr. Dalen Agnew about the Reproductive Health Surveillance Program, an archive of non-domestics reproductive tissues. #cancerXspecies @CancerInExotics @zooexoticcancer

Dr Barbara Kitchell is talking to us about Medical Oncology in Non-Traditional Veterinary Species. She is one of the team of oncologists on hand to help when you contact #ESCRA about your cancer case in exotic species @CancerInExotics @zooexoticcancer #cancerXspecies
Dr. Murphy is not talking about cancer, but the Great Ape Heart Project is a great model for multi-institutional projects. #ESCRA has learned a lot from them #cancerXspecies @CancerInExotics @zooexoticcancer

Why do true jellyfish get cancer but cone jellies don’t? Ask Dr. Will Eward at @NCStateVetMed. They lack key cancer causing pathways that anyone studies human cancer will recognize. @CancerInExotics #cancerXspecies

Cancer is an ancestral event and uses shared biological mechanisms - we can use evolution to find key cancer genes and understand cancer chromosomes by studying cancer across species - excellent talk by Dr. Matthew Breen @NCSU @CancerInExotics #CancerResearch
