Preclinical Research

Preclinical testing typically begins in small animals such as rodents, after which additional safety tests are performed in larger animals before advancing to clinical trials. This is done to test for negative side effects and toxicity before moving to clinical trials. Pig models are becoming increasingly popular for testing toxicology, surgical, and other medical procedures; however, their value as a translational cancer model is also becoming more broadly recognized.
