In 2024, an estimated 6 million pet dogs will be diagnosed with cancer in the United States. As someone who has lost several family dogs to cancer, I know how heartbreaking this diagnosis will be for each of those dogs’ owners.
Researchers from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, the University of Georgia, and the One Health Company have published the results from the largest-ever genomic sequencing study of canine tumors. The study shows that dog and human cancers are far more genetically similar than previously known and underscores the important role of canine cancer data in accelerating the development of precision treatments for cancer patients of both species.
World’s largest genomic study of canine cancer reveals potential for novel human cancer treatments
Researchers from Stanford AI Health and One Health, the world’s first translational canine cancer care company, published the results from the largest-ever genomic study of canine cancer which revealed a promising path for enhanced human cancer treatments.
