A large international study has mapped the genetic landscape of feline cancers for the first time, revealing striking similarities between tumor-driving mutations in cats, humans, and dogs.

Cats develop this subtype more often than humans, giving scientists access to samples, and offering clues to new medicines ...

Prof Harikrishna Nakshatri, who studies breast cancer at Indiana University, called the results "fascinating" and said the ...

Cats have long been something of a medical mystery. Compared to dogs, our feline friends receive a fraction of the research attention, but a sweeping new international study is changing that by ...

In dogs, mast cell tumors are the most common malignant skin tumors, accounting for approximately 16–21% of all skin cancers. These tumors can appear anywhere on the body but are most frequently found ...

The first study of multiple cancer types in cats has identified genetic changes that could help treat the condition in humans and animals. By analyzing different types of tumors from almost 500 pet ...

Cancer commonly occurs in companion animals such as cats and dogs. In recent years, researchers’ understanding of dog tumors on a molecular level has significantly progressed, but they still didn't ...

Breast cancer is unfortunately prevalent not only among humans, but also in our feline friends. Just like with people, mammary cancer is very aggressive in cats, and they have the best chance of ...

Oral cancer is often a death sentence in cats. Sick cats excel at hiding their symptoms, so the cancer is typically diagnosed at an advanced, untreatable stage. “Most of the time these cats come in, I ...

Mast cell tumors (MCTs) are among the most common skin cancers affecting dogs and cats. These tumors originate from mast cells – immune cells that play a key role in allergic reactions and ...

Scientists discovered the genetic changes that drive cancer formation in cats are similar to those seen in humans ...
