Kudos to Dr. Debbie Knapp and her collaborating team, staff and families of the Scottish Terriers who participated in further advancing our knowledge about bladder cancer. The highlights of this study are:
•Cigarette smoke exposure was associated with bladder
cancer in Scottish terriers.
•Dog owners are encouraged to avoid smoking to protect their
dog’s health.
•Living near a marsh was also associated with bladder cancer.
•Dogs could help identify gene-environment interactions
leading to bladder cancer.
ABSTRACT
Canine urothelial carcinoma (UC) initially responds favorably to treatment, but is ultimately lethal in most cases.
Research to identify modifiable risk factors to prevent the cancer is essential. The high breed-associated risk for UC, e.g. 20-fold higher in Scottish terriers, can facilitate this research. The objective was to identify environmental and host factors associated with UC in a cohort of Scottish terriers. Information was obtained through dog owner questionnaires for 120 Scottish terriers ≥ 6 years old participating in a bladder cancer screening study, with comparisons made between dogs that did or did not develop UC during the 3 years of screening.
