Advances in Feline Oncology

چکیده
The mysterious feline species is fraught with a variety of neoplasms. Some of the tumors that arise in the cat are more likely malignant than benign when compared to the histologic counterpart diseases in dogs, as is true for masses that arise in the skin and mammary gland. It is also true that the biologic behaviour of certain of the malignancies that arise in the feline species have apparently differing clinical courses than counterpart histologies in dogs or humans. Coupled with different underlying carcinogenic responses and biologic behaviors in cat tumors is the unique pharmacologic responses of the cat's metabolism and excretion of many drugs important in cancer chemotherapy. Feline oncology thus presents additional challenges in veterinary medicine.
