We’re incredibly proud of Kate Boyd, our first year Oncology Resident at , who has won this year’s Wim Misdorp Research Award for her research abstract at this year's ESVONC Congress!

Her research "Retrospective analysis investigating the independence of histological and immunohistochemical prognostic factors from 199 canine mast cell tumours with follow up from their primary care practices" has been running for two years.

The project is a great example of pan-CVS collaboration. Conducted at Highcroft Referrals (soon to become Bristol Vet Specialists), it has involved case recruitment by Finn Pathologists, follow up from CVS first opinion practices across the UK, along with analysis by CVS’ resident veterinary statistician and epidemiologist.

Phase two of the project will involve validation of an AI algorithm, using the same dataset, and has won funding from the CVS Residency Research Award.

The Wim Misdorp Award recognises outstanding contributions to the knowledge related to pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapy, prevention, or control of animal tumour-diseases. It is given once yearly at ESVONC Congress to a veterinarian based upon their written abstract and oral presentation of scientific data at the congress.
