Editorial: Feline tumors of nervous system

Cats and dogs share human environments and habits which in the last decades have extended life expectancy in pets as in man, and they will do more in the next (1). This is why we have no doubts to assess that the cat develops tumors with an incidence similar to the dog, except for species-related predisposition or viral oncogenetic infections. If this assumption is correct and probably no far from the true also for tumors of the nervous system, a large number of nervous system tumors still escape from specialist investigations, diagnosis, therapeutic approaches and, finally, from studies. Considering the number of papers published about feline tumors of nervous system in 2022, in PubMed website we find only nine papers vs. more than 30 papers for the dog. Additionally, more difficult is to detect wide case series studies also for tumors with high incidence in this species, as it is lymphoma. Based on these premises, in this Research Topic we wanted to promote and collect researches on this subject, and the obtained results are consistent with the aim enough to be proud to have contributed by increasing the literature on feline tumors of the nervous system of about 50% for the last year.
