Cancer doesn’t care if you
have two legs or four.
This year, millions of our pets will get cancer. And just like us, they often fight it and
beat it. At Colorado State University’s Flint Animal Cancer Center, we’ve learned
something important: cancer is cancer. A lot of our pets get cancers that are exactly
the same as cancers in people, down to the cellular level. Which means what works
for our pets could work for us. Treatments and breakthroughs we develop to help
pets beat cancer can often be used to help people beat cancer. And already have. So
our mission is to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer in pets.
And then use our research and knowledge to also benefit people with cancer. Join
us as we race to cure cancer in our best friends, and ourselves. Because the cure for
cancer could be walking right beside us. Visit onecure.com to learn more.
Solei and Flint Animal Cancer Center patient, Alba, are both osteosarcoma survivors and their cancers share remarkable similarities. One
Cure is designed to take what we learn from canine cancer patients like Alba to not only help other dogs, but also human patients like Solei
live longer, better lives.
