Cats play an unexpected role in new cancer research.

They live in our houses, drink our water and even sleep in our beds. Cats have become an integral part of many households and ...

Cats develop this subtype more often than humans, giving scientists access to samples, and offering clues to new medicines ...

Scientists have mapped the genetics of cancer in cats for the first time at scale, uncovering major overlaps with human cancers. Key mutations—like those linked to breast cancer—appear in both species ...

In this study, researchers aimed to characterize the mutational landscape of the tumors of domestic cats to determine whether similarities to humans could translate to the clinic.

A large international study has mapped the genetic landscape of feline cancers for the first time, revealing striking similarities between tumor-driving mutations in cats, humans, and dogs.

Cats have long been something of a medical mystery. Compared to dogs, our feline friends receive a fraction of the research attention, but a sweeping new international study is changing that by ...

Cats could hold the key to curing breast cancer and other deadly forms of the disease, suggests new research. The first study of multiple cancer types in cats has identified genetic changes that could ...

Cats are exposed to some of the same environmental cancer risks as their owners, which means that some causes could, at least in part, be shared. By sequencing DNA from tissue samples that had already ...
