Vaccine sarcoma

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A vaccine sarcoma is skin cancer in the form of a fibrosarcoma , which is associated with a vaccination and usually first develops at the injection site (injection-associated fibrosarcoma or vaccine-associated fibrosarcoma).

Cats are particularly frequently affected (see Feline Fibrosarcoma ), but - to a much lower extent - dogs , ferrets and others are also affected . In animal experiments, vaccine sarcomas in mice and rats have been the subject of research for a long time.
