Most feline cancers are diagnosed in cats over 10 years old.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Types of Cancer in Cats:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lymfom<\/strong>: This is the most common type of cancer in cats, affecting the lymphatic system. It can occur in various forms, including gastrointestinal lymphoma, which is prevalent in older cats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)<\/strong>: This skin cancer often affects the mouth, ears, and nose, particularly in cats with lighter skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Br\u00f6stk\u00f6rteltum\u00f6rer<\/strong>: These are more common in female cats, especially those that are unspayed.
