The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is currently recruiting dogs with a cancer diagnosis in trials aimed at finding "new treatments that preserve dogs' quality of life and maximize their time with their families." According to Dr. Roby Hecht, deputy director of NCI's Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis, these trials shoe how a variety of treatments that are affective in dogs, will often show positive results in humans as well. Dr. Hecht further explains this is because "the biology of humans and dogs, as well as the tumors that grow in each species are similar in many ways."
