Oncology - Hemangiosarcoma Grants
The Oncology - Hemangiosarcoma Research Program Area is designed to gain a better understanding of the biology and progression of this disease with the goal to design new and effective approaches to treatment. Since hemangiosarcoma is often not detected or diagnosed until the later stages of the disease, there is a focus for developing advanced diagnostics as well as therapeutic interventions. Hemangiosarcoma is of major concern to the AKC Canine Health Foundation and has prompted the establishment of an Hemangiosarcoma Research Initiative to uniquely address this disease.

The AKC Canine Health Foundation funds research in 23 different Research Program Areas for the health of all dogs. These program areas enable the Foundation to create depth in our research portfolio and help us to be responsive to the health concerns of our constituents.
Help Future Generations of Dogs
Participate in canine health research by providing samples or by enrolling in a clinical trial. Samples are needed from healthy dogs and dogs affected by specific diseases.
