CSU animal cancer article summary

Here is a very short summary done in 2-4 bullet points on an article from CSU animal cancer center.

1. At CSU (Colorado State University) they use some of the same treatments for humans for animals.

2. Their idea actually worked, it cured some of the animals. Like all treatments it does not always work, but it works a lot of the time.

We have an idea much like theirs, maybe we should send them a letter. Click on the link below to go to the wedsite where the article is.

Cancer article from ny times

Today I am going to give you a short summary from NY Times.

1. Cancer is not only found in canines, felines, and humans, it is also found in horses, pigs, sheep, and many more mammals.

2. We have started to use the same techniques we use on us on animals (and vise versa)

3. Some solutions that we use on animals for diseases work on us; while others don't.

www.wearethecure.com summary

This is a summary gathered from the website www.wearethecure.com.

1. In 2004, cancer experts in dogs spent nearly 30 billion dollars on the mapping of the dog genome. Why?
2. The reason that they did this is that the researchers think that cures for dog cancer can cure human cancer, and there are a multitude of reasons for thinking this.
3.For one, the dogs develop cancer spontaneously, which is quite like us, and they also age faster, and can be treated less expensively.
4. The dog genome is like the human genome, but the dog is less diverse, and that makes it easier to find the genes causing the cancer.
5. So, in helping fund dog cancer, you also help human cancer.

Cancer

Here is a small summary of an article from the University of Minnesota.

1. Almost 30 percent of all dogs  and cats living in the US will be diagnosed with cancer in the future, has been diagnosed, or is diagnosed.

2. The University of Minnesota is one of very few schools who have a human cancer research facility and a vetrinary cancer facility on the same campus.

3. Cancer develops in humans AND animals, not JUST humans.

This blog

This blog isn't just about our competition, it's also about researching, and helping, dogs and humans with cancer. This is a very significant topic for my friends and I. We have been searching at least millions of problems having to do with senior citizens, and have finnaly found one!
