Finding that the oldest cancer is actually physically transmitted is shocking. Especially that is only found in dogs as a parasite rather than in its deadly forms that humans could get it. Thankfully there is treatments because no animal or human should suffer with any disease.<br />Nauera Abouabdouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00237420657522481265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360356351594869925.post-21433374620682931092019-10-09T13:53:50.082-04:002019-10-09T13:53:50.082-04:00I found this article to be extremely interesting b...I found this article to be extremely interesting because it's the first type of cancer that is actually spread through physical interaction. I also found it interesting that chemotherapy was a source of a cure to the disease rather than the symptoms itself. It's intriguing to learn about how different species react to specific diseases. I feel as if we studied how dogs overcame this type of cancer it could potentially lead to some insight with the human bodies machinery to fight off cancer as well.

Whether it be in dogs or humans it is awful. With pedigrees and evolutionary advances in humans and dogs, more effective treatments may be able to be discovered. Our feline friend may just hold the key to that. Its very interesting that cancer is actually capable of being spread through sexual contact much like HIV or syphilis.

While it seems to be more latent in dogs it is still cancer. In tracking the history of and evolution of cancer in dogs we may be able to develop newer and more effective treatment methods to cure humans. Another thing that is interesting is that this cancer can be transmitted through sexual contact, something I've also never heard of.
