Scientists are uncovering a surprising ally in the fight against cancer: domestic cats. A groundbreaking study has mapped the cancer-related genes of hundreds of cats, revealing that felines share around 90% of their genetic code with humans.
Researchers say many cancers in cats develop through the same biological pathways and genetic mutations seen in people, making them valuable for understanding the disease and developing future treatments. The findings could open new avenues for both human and veterinary cancer research.
