This textbook provides a profound overview on comparative oncology covering both the background of the discipline and its underlying principles. It also shows how comparative oncology can be utilized to advance human research. Illustrated by numerous images the book vastly covers current knowledge about comparative aspects of different tumor types such as mammary, prostate or bladder carcinoma. An emphasis is placed on companion animals, but information on other animal models is also included.

In recent years, comparative oncology has become a major topic in human and veterinary medicine. This book now provides a unique and comprehensive look at the field, offering in-depth knowledge to graduate and advanced undergraduate students, as well as researchers working in both fields. Clinicians will particularly appreciate the insights on diagnostics and treatment strategies.
