Clinical Trials for Canine Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer in dogs, primarily prostatic carcinoma, is an uncommon but aggressive malignancy that can affect both intact and neutered male dogs. It tends to invade locally and metastasize to regional lymph nodes and bone. Clinical trials at veterinary universities are researching new treatment approaches including targeted therapies, radiation, and novel drug combinations that may be available at reduced or no cost.
