Hello everyone!
In light of recent events we would like to clarify some things regarding the Canine Tumor Project. While our undergraduate students are sad to have had their semester cut short due to the coronavirus, our lab is still taking in tumors for cell culture and processing with the help of our graduate students! We will continue our research for as long as the situation will safely allow us. If you want to request tumor kits or are in need of new tumor kits, please let us know and we can get them to you in a safe manner.
If you or your practice have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. We will be continuing to update on this page as things progress.
Stay safe, and we hope to hear from you soon!

Hi! We are the UMass Canine Tumor Project!

Established in 2018, we are a research team in the UMass Amherst Veterinary and Animal Sciences Department dedicated to archiving and studying canine tumors. Through this research, we hope to better understand the causes of mammary and mast cell tumors in dogs, with the ultimate goal of improved treatment and prevention.

Canine and human cancers have similarities, including occurrence of spontaneous tumors, hormonal etiology, and the course of the disease. Additionally, dogs and humans are exposed to similar environments. The demographic data and tumors collected will help advance our knowledge regarding the causes of canine cancers and possibly impact our understanding of human cancers.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our work, please visit our website caninetumorproject.org or email us at k9tumor@umass.edu.
