Article Synopsis
- Neoplasia is prevalent in guinea pigs, with a study showing a tumor incidence of 20.5% in a large population of 2,474 autopsy cases.
- The most common tumors identified were lymphomas or leukemias, affecting 7.0% of the guinea pigs, and these tumors often spread to multiple organs.
- There was a notable increase in tumor prevalence with age, rising from 1.4% in those under 0.5 years to 53.6% in guinea pigs older than 5 years, highlighting the need for further research on tumor characteristics in these animals.
