Cats play an unexpected role in new cancer research.

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

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.

Scientists have mapped the genetics of cancer in cats for the first time at scale, uncovering major overlaps with human cancers. Key mutations—like those linked to breast cancer—appear in both species ...

They live in our houses, drink our water and even sleep in our beds. Cats have become an integral part of many households and ...

In this study, researchers aimed to characterize the mutational landscape of the tumors of domestic cats to determine whether similarities to humans could translate to the clinic.

The genetics of feline tumors reveal parallels with human cancer and open up new shared therapeutic pathways between pets and people. The domestic cat, a daily companion in millions of homes, could ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
