PharmaCom BioVet, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PHMB) is pleased to announce its plans with IsoTherapeutics Group, LLC to explore the latest ground-breaking direct injection liquid brachytherapy therapeutic radioisotope procedures* for use within its canine cancer treatment centers.

As part of its plans for state-of-the-art treatment centers for canine lymphoma and other forms of cancer, PharmaCom BioVet, Inc. is greatly encouraged by the latest research results in direct injection of liquid brachytherapy radioisotopes into tumors. Recently published collaborate studies on canines and mice by IsoTherapeutics Group, LLC and Valco Instruments Company Inc. have demonstrated that direct injection procedures with an easy to prepare, high pH formulation allow for better targeting of the radioisotope treatment with less migration into other non-cancerous cells.

Recent advances in cancer treatments such as these are fundamental to the scientific basis for PharmaCom BioVet, Inc. "Part of our commitment is to support and harness these cutting-edge methodologies for both cancer treatment and prevention," asserts Gary S. Berthold, Founder and President/CEO of PharmaCom BioVet, Inc. "The meaningful research with liquid brachytherapy direct injections provides new hope for companion animal lovers and adds to the substantive treatment options portfolio within our new cancer treatment centers," Berthold added.

Berthold also stated, "While researching treatment options for our own pets, we discovered a dynamic convergence within the veterinary and cancer research industries towards providing new treatment technologies for companion animals suffering from cancer. We also discovered a significant and growing demand for companion animal cancer care, and simultaneously found that there are almost no facilities dedicated to developing and providing these new treatment programs. Based on these factors, we decided to dedicate our lives to creating canine cancer treatment centers around the country," Berthold concluded.
