Welcome to the Animal Cancer Care and Research Program
Our Mission to advance knowledge and translate it into delivery of care to reduce the incidence of cancer and its impact in human and animal patients.
ACCR Vision A world without cancer
To achieve this vision, we will enable leadership and facilitate interaction among researchers and clinicians to improve detection, diagnosis, treatment, quality of life, and outcomes.
Program Goals
Identify and characterize causes and behavior of cancers that affect humans and animals
Learn from models of naturally occurring cancers that occupy the interphase between rodents and humans
Seek outcomes that benefit humans and companion animals alike
The Animal Cancer Care and Research program is a cornerstone of the Comparative Medicine Signature Program at the College of Veterinary Medicine, as well as a Developmental Research Program at the Masonic Cancer Center.

The Veterinary Medical Center (VMC) Oncology Service offers a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic options for pets with cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Continue to VMC site.
The Clinical Investigation Center develops and facilitates veterinary clinical trials and translational research studies which may lead to new drugs, devices, procedures and treatments for the benefit of animals and humans alike.
The Modiano Lab is interested in understanding basic differences between normal and tumor cells. Their ultimate goal is to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with cancer in humans and animals.
