Genetic discovery could lead to better treatments for common tumor in dogs

2

Newly discovered genetic commonalities and differences among the most prevalent types of canine soft tissue sarcomas, a common and potentially deadly tumor, could pave the way for more accurate diagnosis and better treatments in the future. Using next-generation sequencing techniques and computation approaches, a team of researchers and veterinarians examined the genetic makeup of the three most common subtypes of the tumor and identified several therapeutic targets that might form the basis of new treatments.
