Summary and future directions
With the exponential gains in our understanding of cancer biology and the wider acceptance of comparative oncology, it is hoped that new frontiers in the prevention, detection, and treatment of cancer will be discovered for humans and companion animals alike.
Given the conservation of key tumor characteristics that define malignancy, fundamental advances made through the study of preclinical murine models, comparative oncology trials in pet dogs and cats with naturally occurring cancers, or by epidemiologic studies in human beings should provide the opportunity to co-advance our understanding of cancer. Focused efforts should be made by health professionals and comparative researchers to support synergistic discovery opportunities that have the potential to accelerate cancer research, which can benefit both people and companion animals.
