Clinical Trials for Nasal Cancer
Nasal tumors, including carcinomas and sarcomas, affect both dogs and cats, often presenting with chronic nasal discharge, nosebleeds, and facial deformity. They are typically locally aggressive and can invade adjacent structures including the skull. Radiation therapy is the primary treatment, and clinical trials at veterinary universities are studying novel radiation protocols, immunotherapy, and combination approaches through funded research programs.

Understanding Nasal Cancer in Pets
Nasal tumors grow inside the nasal cavity and sinuses of dogs and cats, often causing persistent discharge, nosebleeds, or facial swelling. They tend to be locally aggressive and can erode into surrounding bone.
Who it tends to affect
- Typical size: Affects both dogs and cats; in dogs, longer-nosed (dolichocephalic) breeds appear to develop nasal tumors more often
- Typical age: Most commonly diagnosed in middle-aged to older animals
Can my pet join — does breed matter?
Trials typically enroll based on tumor type, extent within the nasal cavity, and prior treatment. Both dogs and cats meeting study criteria are generally 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.
