Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Veterinary Oncology has rapidly evolved, bringing transformative advancements that significantly enhance the knowledge about carcinogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cancer in animals. This Special Issue, titled "Advancements in Veterinary Oncology", is dedicated to presenting the latest research in this the field, offering new perspectives for both companion animals and horses.
Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in veterinary patients, necessitating a multifaceted approach to address its complexities. This Special Issue covers a broad spectrum of topics in veterinary oncology, from basic research to diagnostics, treatment modalities, and prognostic evaluations. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of veterinary cancer research and the strides being made to improve outcomes for our veterinary patients. In this Special Issue, original articles, case reports, and reviews are welcome.
This Special Issue also emphasizes the importance of comparative oncology, illustrating how advancements in human cancer research can be translated to veterinary practice and vice versa. By leveraging this comparative approach, we can accelerate the development of effective treatments and deepen our understanding of cancer biology across species.
As the Guest Editors of this Special Issue, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the authors for their exceptional contributions and to the reviewers for their meticulous evaluation of the submissions. We are confident that the research presented herein will inspire further innovation and collaboration, driving forward the field of veterinary oncology.
We invite all the researchers to explore the articles in this Special Issue and join us in recognizing the remarkable progress being made in oncology in veterinary medicine. Together, we can continue to advance our understanding of cancer, bringing new hope and better health outcomes to animals.
