Veterinary Oncology Research

Veterinary Oncology Research is a research topic within Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine. Science Explorer counts 15k research works in it since 1950. 9.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the use of pet dogs as models for human cancer research, particularly in the areas of comparative oncology, translational research, and molecular pathology. It includes studies on canine tumor models, genomic analysis, histological grading systems, immunotherapy, and the transmission dynamics of transmissible cancers in animals. The research also explores the potential for translating new cancer treatments and diagnostic methods from pet dogs to humans.
