Assistant Professor

Dr. Matthew Berry joined the faculty at the College of Veterinary Medicine as Assistant Professor last year, but he’s been part of the college since he arrived as a veterinary student in 2013. After completing the DVM program in 2017 he stayed and completed his rotating internship and residency in medical oncology. He is continuing training in a PhD program to expand on his research interests and he enjoys challenging veterinary students to think as a referring veterinarian and discussing how to work with the oncology team to provide the best possible care for the patients they will refer.

Canine Lymphoma: Updates on diagnostic and therapeutic strategies

Lymphoma is a common neoplastic disease in dogs and can be a complex disease to diagnose and treat. In this session, Dr. Matt Berry, DVM, DACVIM (Oncology) and Dr. Mike Rosser, DVM, DACVP (Clinical Pathology) will discuss the latest recommendations in diagnosis, staging, and treatment of canine lymphoma. Case-based examples will be used to help practitioners understand limits of cytology and when and why to pursue molecular testing such as flow cytometry or PARR. New and historical lymphoma treatments will be reviewed, and key communication points will help practitioners be able to discuss chemotherapy with pet owners and help prepare them for referral.
