Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is a disease that affects almost all animal species. The way neoplasms are considered has changed over time in the scientific community. The tumor cell is no longer the protagonist in the biological behavior of the neoplasm but is part of a complex ecosystem in which several players can influence or even dictate the prognosis of the animal. The number of animals diagnosed with cancer has increased, partly because of improved diagnostic methods and, consequently, early detection of tumors. Furthermore, there has been an increase in research into new diagnostic methods and molecular targets that can be converted into new therapies after clinical trials.
The study of cancer in animals has attracted the attention of the scientific community and is already regarded under a One Health perspective. Animal-based studies are also key to the evolution of precision medicine, an approach to disease prevention and treatment that focuses on the individual and considers individual differences in genes, environment, and lifestyle.
Original manuscripts on every aspect of neoplasia and cancer in animals are invited to this Special Issue. Topics of particular interest include new diagnostic methods, therapeutic tools, therapeutic drugs, animal tumor comparative approaches, rare tumors, palliative care, and other topics.
