Clinical Trials for Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common malignant tumor arising from epithelial cells, affecting the skin, oral cavity, and digits in both dogs and cats. In cats, SCC frequently affects sun-exposed areas like the nose and ear tips and carries a guarded prognosis. University research programs are studying new immunotherapy protocols, targeted therapies, and combination treatments through funded clinical trials to improve outcomes.
