$ENTB ~ Types of cancers commonly found in dogs include lymphoma, mammary tumors in females, mast cell tumors (which are a form of skin cancer), bone cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and soft issue sarcomas. Certain breeds of dogs have been shown to have higher rates of cancer; among them are golden retrievers, boxers, cocker spaniels, Saint Bernards, greyhounds, poodles, German shepherds, Rottweilers, Shetland sheepdogs, cocker spaniels, Doberman pinschers, beagles, miniature schnauzers and Shih Tzus.
Similarly, the cancer incidence rate for cats is estimated to be about 70 to 80 per 10,000 cats. Cancer is less common in cats than in dogs, but can be quite aggressive. Among cats, common cancers include lymphomas and tumors of the subcutaneous tissues, especially the complex feline fibro-sarcoma. ENTB is working on cures for these!
