abstract:
Spontaneous tumours in small animals can provide models for studying the biology of some neoplasms. The aim of this
work was to assess and to compare the main clinical-epidemiological parameters of squamous cell carcinoma [SCC] in both
cats and humans in Sardinia.
The relative prevalence in cats was 43,7%. The disease was most common in old and white haired cats that spent most of
their time outdoors. In humans the relative prevalence was 10% and it was most common in old and males patients. Anatomic
locations of the tumours were also described and compared. The results indicate that this type of cancer is widespread on the
island. Its clinical-epidemiological behaviour was found to be very similar in cats and humans.
The cat can be a valid spontaneous animal model for studying SCC in human and it can be helpful in acquiring a greater understanding
of the biological and epidemiological behaviour of these carcinomas.
