Tumors in Companion Animals: Detection, Diagnosis, Prognosis and Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

Tumors in companion animals represent a growing clinical and research concern, requiring multidisciplinary collaboration across diagnostic pathology, oncology, and surgery. This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in the detection, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of neoplastic diseases in dogs, cats, and other companion species.

We invite original research articles, reviews, and case reports focusing on innovative diagnostic tools, imaging and molecular techniques, prognostic markers, and therapeutic approaches, including surgical, chemotherapeutic, and immunomodulatory interventions. Studies addressing treatment outcomes, survival analysis, and translational perspectives linking veterinary and human oncology are particularly encouraged.

By integrating diagnostic innovations with clinical and therapeutic evidence, this Special Issue seeks to enrich the current literature and provide a practical and scientific reference for veterinarians, researchers, and clinicians dedicated to improving cancer management and quality of life in companion animals.
