Description

Fernanda Cristina Poscai Ribeiro and co-authors compare neuroendocrine tumors across humans, dogs, and cats in a 2026 literature review. These rare tumors can release hormones or stay silent, delaying diagnosis, and pets share homes and tumor forms with people, making them promising natural models. The review searched PubMed through December 2025.

Dog and cat tumors matched many human features in look, markers, symptoms, imaging, and course, above all for pancreatic, liver, and gut tumors. Gaps remain wide, though: weak pet disease tracking, unvalidated markers, uneven imaging standards, and few prospective treatment studies. Coordinated multi-center work with shared reporting rules could improve pet care while sharpening animal models for human research.
