How common is it for cats to have a tumor?

Heather asked:
My cat has been having nose problems for several weeks and it hasn’t been getting better so I took him to the vet. The vet looked in his nose and couldn’t see anything so he said he was worried it might be a tumor. He asked me to leave him over night so he could take some x-rays. I was just wondering if anyone knew how common tumors/cancer is in cats. My cat means a lot to me and I’m worried sick about the whole situation.

Smoking Effects
Unfortunately, oral and nasal tumors are pretty common in cats, especially if they are older cats. Hopefully your vet will find something else that isn’t so serious. I’m so sorry to hear about you and your kitty!
Cancer from smoking
Unfortunately tumors are certainly a concern for a cat that is experiencing sneezing,mucousy exudate that has not responded to antibiotics.
Sometimes xrays are not definitive.
MRI/Cat Scan typically find the lesions.
I am so sorry and hope that it is something else that is going on with your cat.
Best of luck
