Cross-species extrapolation evaluates the similarity of pathophysiology, drug targets, and pharmacokinetics between humans and animals to determine if human medical research can safely and effectively inform veterinary care decisions.

Assessing cross-species extrapolation plausibility involves evaluating the similarity of pathophysiology, drug targets, and pharmacokinetics between humans and the target veterinary species to determine if human medical research findings can safely inform veterinary care.

Human evidence translation should be used when no veterinary-specific randomized controlled trials or clinical guidelines exist, covering veterinary topics from cardiology to oncology and pain management where cross-species extrapolation is considered.

Labeling limitations requires using clear reporting guidelines to annotate veterinary considerations and constraints when applying human medical evidence, utilizing an evidence-grade framework to guide veterinary interpretation of cross-species extrapolations.

Yes, human medical research can be used for veterinary oncology and pain management when species-specific evidence is lacking, provided you assess cross-species pathophysiology similarity and apply an evidence-grade framework to guide veterinary interpretation.
