What Causes Hemangiosarcoma?
Hemangiosarcoma (HSA) is one of the most aggressive and heartbreaking cancers in dogs, often appearing without warning and spreading rapidly.
While it can affect many different breeds, golden retrievers are particularly susceptible to HSA. A recent study revealed that nearly half of the cancer deaths were from hemangiosarcoma.
While new treatments such as the EGFR/HER2 vaccine are helping extend survival times, an important question remains:
Why are so many dogs developing this disease?
In our next webinar, Dr. Catherine Wise, a research scientist at Duke University, will discuss emerging evidence linking chemical exposure to increased cancer risk in dogs.
The new CCA-sponsored study, led by Dr Wise and Prof Heather Stapleton, is the first focused investigation specifically designed to measure the link between hemangiosarcoma and environmental chemical exposures from flame retardants and lawn chemicals to household plastics and air pollution.
