Understanding Apocrine Gland Anal Sac Adenocarcinoma (AGASACA) in Pets

This cancer arises from the glands of the anal sacs and is most commonly seen in dogs, though it occasionally affects cats. It frequently spreads to nearby lymph nodes and can cause elevated calcium levels.

Who it tends to affect

  • Typical size: Affects both dogs and cats; no consistent size predisposition has been established in dogs
  • Typical age: Most commonly diagnosed in middle-aged to older dogs, typically 8 years and older

Can my pet join — does breed matter?

Trials typically enroll based on lymph node involvement, calcium status, and prior treatment. Both dogs and cats meeting diagnostic and health criteria may be eligible.

Most trials are open to all breeds and set requirements by size, weight, age, and diagnosis instead. Our matching service checks your pet's specific details against each study's actual requirements.
