What is it about?
Monitoring tumors in standardized registries helps to identify risk factors for tumor development. This is the largest study to date of canine tumor incidence rates by age, sex, and breed, conducted in Switzerland and using the Swiss dog population as a reference. By considering all dog breeds, including less popular ones, we revealed potential predispositions that have not been described before.

Why is it important?
This is the most comprehensive study to date on breed-specific IRs for neoplasms in dogs, uncovering previously unknown predispositions. Our findings contribute to the body of knowledge on tumor susceptibility in dogs, with potential implications for several areas of veterinary medicine, and translational and cancer research in the context of One Health.
