Many medicines and medical techniques are tested on animals. But develop and real use are not the same, especially if it's for people. I don't know all the testing stages, but should be clinical trials at least. I also think that different types of cancer need different drugs and techniques. Therefore, between the treatment of dogs and treatment of people from the point of view of official medicine must be a very big difference.

Hi defyance, You talk about testing on animals and you talk about the treatment of dogs and treatment of people from official medicine must be very different

I posted a response to you saying basically the same thing yesterday. Here is that post below. But let me add something first. So if a dog has an infection and an person has an infection do you think the treatment is different. The use the same drugs. 90% of all drugs used to treat dogs for various issues are actually human drugs that are use on humans for the same thing. The are very few drugs created just for dogs. And only ONE cancer drug. The rest of the drugs used to treat cancer in dogs are human cancer drugs being use as "grey label or off label" when using a human drug on dogs.

So again here is the post from yesterday to your comment

Let me tell you a true story. In 2003, the National Institute of Health (NIH) alone with biomedical and veterinary researchers around the globe, started the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

A team led by Kerstin Lindblad-Toh, Ph.D., of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, Mass., and Agencourt Bioscience Corp., Beverly, Mass., successfully assembled the genome of the domestic dog (Canis familiaris). The breed of dog sequenced was the boxer, which was chosen after analyses of 60 dog breeds found it was one of the breeds with the least amount of variation in its genome and therefore likely to provide the most reliable reference genome sequence. They spent $30 million USD doing this.

Now if you read that closely what was started was the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Yet they used a dog for sequencing or mapping the genome sequence.

So you might ask why did they use a dog in a Genome Research project for humans?

Well one of the reasons is that they believe the cures for most cancer in humans will come from cancer research in dogs. Because dogs get cancer like humans. Before this, when working with mice and such, they would insert under the skin a certain cancer tumor and then try to treat it. But with dogs, they get cancer in the same places as people. They get lung cancer, breast cancer, prostrate and others. So when researchers work with treating dogs that have cancer, 90% of that research will translate (also work on) to people.

So the reason the NIH was willing to spend $30 million to map the genome of the dog as part of the National Human Genome Research is WHY I can say confidently that this treatment will work on both dogs and people. And remember, that it has already been working successfully on people since 2009.
