(Davis, CA) – California researchers say a cancer treatment for cats may also work for humans. Scientists at UC Davis and UC San Francisco have been testing a treatment for squamous cell carcinoma, which is one of the most aggressive cancers in cats. KCRA in Sacramento says 20 cats were treated during the clinical trial and seven of them showed a response to the treatment. One cat named Jack who was given only six weeks managed to live eight months because of the treatment, and was able to spend Christmas with its family.
The researchers believe the treatment could also be effective for humans who have squamous cell carcinoma.
