Feline and human cancers share striking genetic similarities, offering new research avenues

A landmark study reveals striking genetic parallels between feline and human cancers, suggesting cats could be key to understanding human diseases. The research identified similar oncogene mutations in cat tumors and human cancers, including breast cancer, offering potential for new treatments for both species. This study, the first large-scale genetic map of feline cancer, supports the "One Health" concept and creates a valuable resource for future cancer research.
