Clinical Trials for Carcinoma
Carcinomas are cancers arising from epithelial cells and represent a broad category of malignancies affecting dogs and cats across multiple organ systems. They vary widely in behavior depending on their origin, grade, and stage at diagnosis. Clinical trials at veterinary universities are exploring new surgical, radiation, and systemic treatment approaches that may be available through funded research programs.

Understanding Carcinoma in Pets
Carcinomas are cancers arising from epithelial tissue — the lining of organs and skin — and represent a broad category that can affect many body systems in both dogs and cats. Behavior varies widely depending on the site and type.
Who it tends to affect
- Typical size: Affects both dogs and cats
- Typical age: Most commonly seen in middle-aged to older animals, though age varies widely by cancer site
Can my pet join — does breed matter?
Eligibility varies significantly by study, since carcinoma covers many different cancer sites and types. Trials typically screen based on the specific organ affected, tumor grade, and prior treatment history.
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.
