Dogs accelerate the advance of new cancer treatments for both pets and people: National review shows studying cancer in dogs offers 'a unique opportunity' for helping patients, saving time and decreasing costs: A new review suggests integrating dogs with naturally occurring cancers into studies of new drug therapeutics could result in better treatments for our four-legged friends while helping inform therapeutic development for human cancers. The review hopes to close the gap between human and canine cancer research, and accelerate the knowledge developed by studying cancer in both people and pets, a field known as comparative oncology.
