Advancements in animal cancer research often translate into advancements it cancer treatments not only in animals, but then in humans. This is a small, but exciting step in cancer research overall, that someday may benefit us all, animal and human.

Excellent article and very informative, Randy.

Hopefully this will lead to more information and a step closer to curing the horrible disease.

I do too. I also like the evidence discovered here:

For the geneticists involved, the highlight of this large study was a cancerous specimen from Nicaragua which showed something never seen before: not only had the tumour pinched some mitochondrial DNA from its canine host, but the two sequences had been spliced together.

If this is happening in canine cancers, then it's possible that it may be happening in some human cancers, making them very difficult to detect, but at least giving research Oncologists something new to look at and for.
