I did speak to a couple of vets about optimistic views on the dreaded cancer question and both confirmed that cancer was the most curable of all chronic ailments. They said that the early diagnosis of cancer being present gives a high rate of the cancer being successfully isolated and treated. But it is a case by case situation and one cannot generalise.
They confirmed that there is no specific breed of dog that is more likely to contract cancer.
