As with many types of cancers, the actual causes and risk factors for carcinoid tumors are unknown. Clinical signs in cats can vary greatly, depending on the location of the tumor and how far the metastasis has advanced. The size of the tumor and how it may be impeding the functionality o...
This type of cancer is the most common seen in cats and affects the lymph nodes, kidneys, and GI tract. Mastocytoma These are mast cell tumors that may develop in either the spleen or on the skin. They start in the bone marrow and make their way around a cat’s body. Osteosarcoma Th...
Naturally occurring tumors in dogs are well-established models for several human cancers. Domestic cats share many of the benefits of dogs as a model (spontaneous cancers developing in an immunocompetent animal sharing the same environment as humans, shorter lifespan allowing more rapid trial completi...
In cats, squamous cell carcinomas are located in the middle third of the esophagus, just caudal to the thoracic inlet. Metastatic tumors are three times more common than primary esophageal tumors and occur through local invasion from the stomach, thymus, thyroid, and heart base as well as ...
Canine osteosarcoma and other naturally occurring tumors lie intermediate between the mouse models and human cancer. The use of these veterinary models in the future fabric of cancer research will broaden its base and will influence our conceptual approach to research and clinical options. 展开 ...
Stereotactic radiation (SRS/SRT) is an advanced form of radiation therapy that has already been proven effective in treating humans with cancer. What sets SRS/SRT apart is its powerful and unprecedented precision, which now enables the treatment of some tumors that were previously considered untreata...
Mammary gland tumors are the most common tumors in intact females, though the overall incidence depends on the population in question. Surgery is an integral part of therapy for mammary tumors, with the exception of inflammatory carcinomas and those with widespread metastases. Most cats with ...

Drooling or difficulty swallowing: Very common with tumors in the mouth or throat. Changes in respiration: Nagging cough, hoarseness, tiring easily, rapid breathing or excessive panting, all are signs of heart and lung disease. Abdominal distension or filling: A mass in the abdominal cavity may...
However, the exact mechanisms leading to increased expression of cathepsins in tumors have not been investigated in detail [20]. The NIC domain was specifically generated by CatS and not by MMPs that had previously been shown to degrade nidogen-1 [11], [30]. This is important because ...
