Cancer

What is Cancer?

Cancer in cats involves abnormal cell growth in various organs. Common types include lymphoma (most common), squamous cell carcinoma, mammary tumors, and injection-site sarcomas. Symptoms vary by type but may include lumps, weight loss, loss of appetite, lethargy, and difficulty breathing. Diagnosis involves physical exam, blood tests, imaging, and biopsy. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy. Prognosis depends on cancer type, stage, and treatment response. Early detection is crucial.
