Cover Story: Breast cancer is prevalent among women worldwide and the most frequent neoplasm in female dogs. Female dogs and rats are valuable models for studying breast cancer. Female dogs constitute a spontaneous breast cancer model, while female rats are widely used in laboratory research. Both species have added to our scientific knowledge on biopathological pathways, risk factors, and new therapies. This review aimed to compare the anatomical, physiological, and histological features of mammary glands in women, female dogs and rats. Understanding these similarities and differences is crucial for extrapolating results among species and portraying breast tumorigenesis accurately. Researchers must recognize the advantages and limitations of each species to ensure appropriate experimental design and data analysis. View this paper
