Domestic cats can help scientists develop more effective treatments for human cancer”: Scientists have found the benefit of cats even in medicine. "A large-scale genetic study of nearly 500 domestic cats from five countries has revealed striking similarities between feline tumors and human cancer. Scientists have discovered common mutations, particularly in the FBXW7 gene, associated with the development and spread of breast tumors. Similarities were also found in blood cancer, bones, organs lungs, skin. The researchers believe the results will help develop more effective treatments for both animals and humans. In particular, genetic analysis of tumors can make it possible to choose drugs taking into account the individual characteristics of the disease. "In addition, since cats live in the same environment as humans, studying them will help to better understand the effect of environmental factors on the development of cancer."
