Question

Is there any difference in animal cancers and human cancers? And no, its just a random off the top question.

Hi and thank you for your post. While there is no difference in the disease process of cancers (same process for both humans and animals), there are differences in what types of cancers animals tend to get more frequently or commonly versus humans. Also, treatments may differ as well depending on the type of cancer. Interesting question! I hope I have helped answer it. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center!
