The potential role of inflammation in the development of postvaccinal sarcomas in cats.
Epidemiologic evidence shows a strong association between the administration of inactivated feline vaccines (feline leukemia virus and rabies) and subsequent soft tissue sarcoma development at vaccine sites. Although more research is needed to understand the complete pathogenesis of vaccine-induced tumors in cats, good evidence exists that inflammation plays a role.
