Clinical Trials for Feline Gastrointestinal Cancer
Gastrointestinal cancers in cats include lymphoma, adenocarcinoma, and mast cell tumors affecting the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. Feline GI lymphoma is the most common type, presenting in low-grade and high-grade forms with very different prognoses. Clinical trials at veterinary universities are studying new chemotherapy protocols, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies to improve outcomes and quality of life.
