Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is considered the most significant global health problem and is one of the leading causes of death and disease in the 21st century. Cancer is also a common disease in companion animals, with over 4.2 million dogs and cats diagnosed with cancer each year, of which 15% to 30% die. In addition, a number of neoplastic diseases in companion animals share many similarities with humans in terms of biological behavior, dissemination, and response to therapy, placing them in a strategic position for more rapid studies.
Cancer surveillance in animals is an important process that goes well beyond simple registration of cancer cases or calculation of incidence rates to include studies of cancer determinants and the effectiveness of prevention strategies and screening programs. Animal cancer data can also provide research data that can be used for epidemiological, clinical, and public health planning research.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to report on recent studies in the field of veterinary epidemiology and animal cancer data. Original research articles and reviews are welcome in this Special Issue. Research areas include, but are not limited to: Epidemiology of animal cancer and global registry initiatives; practice- and pathology-based data collection; regional or international studies; animal and comparative environmental oncology; and risk factor research.
