The moderator of this session in consultation with the Council of the ACVP selected a topic that we believed would have broad comparative interest and demonstrate the similarities and dissimilarities between various neoplasms in companion animals and in humans. Part of the symposium will be devoted to advances in molecular diagnostics that would be suitable for biopsy or autopsy cases. Because of significant interest in the role of papillomaviruses in cervical carcinoma an overview of the spectrum of proliferative disorders in a variety of animal species will be presented.
