Comparative Oncology

Comparative oncology is the study of naturally occurring cancers in model systems such as pet dogs, whereby the development of novel cancer therapeutics for treating such cancers can be used as a foundation to improve cancer treatment in humans. Dogs, and cats, spontaneously develop cancer the same way humans do. Many of the cancers that develop in our pets share the same biology to those we develop as humans, such as breast, bone, skin and prostate cancers as well as a full spectrum of blood cancers, including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and virally induced cancers.

At Alv B, we are committed to improving cancer care in dogs, and ultimately humans. We collect a wealth of information, through research, novel therapies and clinical trials, being able to fully characterise tumour responses, deciphering treatment mechanisms and understanding the biology behind cancer development. It is through this ultimately translation of novel therapies from dogs to human becomes possible.

Our shared biology makes this possible. Through clinical trials in naturally occurring cancers in domesticated dogs, we can determine if a novel therapy is likely to be efficacious for humans while also benefiting a canine patient in need. This greatly reduces the risk of failure in later clinical phases in humans.

So thanks to comparative oncology, not only do we get to improve cancer treatment in our beloved pets, we also take one more step to improving cancer care in humans also.
