Animal Cancer Foundation is dedicated to finding new treatments and eventual cures for cancer in both pets and people by funding comparative oncology research, the study of naturally occurring, similar cancers in people and their pets.
Sobre Nós
Up to 60% of many canine breeds develop cancer in their lifetimes
The most common cancers in our dogs (lymphoma, osteosarcoma, mammary and bladder tumors, melanoma, gliomas and sarcomas) are also extremely common in people, particularly children and teens.
Simultaneously veterinary oncology research is underfunded compared to human oncology.
By closing this funding gap, ACF empowers comparative oncology research to provide a unique mechanism for evaluating new therapies
The Canine Cancer Genome Project (CCGP) sponsored by Blue Buffalo Foundation and Animal Cancer Foundation is contributing to the canine cancer tumor genomic analysis that will allow researchers to compare cancers across species to expedite therapies to both populations.
