45 7 Full Breakdown

Summary

Story summary

Researchers analyzed genetic data from nearly 500 cats across five countries to map mutations in feline cancers.
They found genetic similarities and mutations such as FBXW7 and PIK3CA in both feline and human cancers, especially mammary tumors.
The study supports the One Medicine approach, suggesting veterinary findings inform human cancer treatments.
The findings advance feline oncology and may improve therapies for both cats and humans.
