Cats are pretty good about hiding their sicknesses and therefore it more difficult to detect and diagnose any illness they may have. If your cat has been diagnosed with cancer then the best thing to do is take him/her to a vet for treatment. There are vaccines and injection treatment available to help them.

Can cats have cancer?
Yes, cats can develop cancer. Cancer usually develops in older cats, and in a number of body organs just like humans.Some of the common cancers are:Lymphoma and Leukaemia: Leukaemia is a cancer of the white blood cells. Lymphoma is a tumour of the lymph nodes and is probably the single most common cancer that affects cats. Lymphoma is much more common in cats who are infected with the Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV).Skin cancers are equally common among cats of both sexes, and tend to become more common with age. These vary considerably depending on the environment. However, around 35-45% of such tumours may be benign - that is, not harmful.Mammary cancer: Can effect both genders, as both male and female cats have nipples. However, it is far more common for an unspayed female cat to develop mammary cancer. Female cats that were spayed after having one to several heat cycles, with or without having kittens, are also at a greater risk than a cat that was spayed before her first heat cycle.Adenocarcinoma is a cancer that develops in the lining or inner surface of an organ. It is relatively common in cats, approximately 13 percent of all skin tumours which cats develop. Most sweat gland tumours occur on the head and neck. Adenocarcinoma is also common in lung cancer and intestinal cancer.There are several treatments for cancer, the most common being surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or a combination of them all. Cats respond very well to chemotherapy, and seem very resilient to side effects that are well known to humans. Most cats will not lose their hair from the treatment, though the hair may turn white. The results of chemotherapy on cats are positive and long lasting, although it is rare for the tumour to be completely eliminated.
