ABSTRACT
Sharma A., Canine mammary tumors, Onl J Vet Res., 26 (9): 685-692,
2022. Mammary gland
tumors grow slowly mostly in aged dogs and can cause ulcerating masses if not
treated. There is lower incidence in neutered females and tumors metastasize in
a similar pattern to women’s regional lymph nodes and lungs. Tumors can be
malignant or benign arising from epithelial, glandular, mesenchymal or
connective tissue. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and
cryosurgery are classical modalities for mammary tumor therapy. Average age for
development is 10.5 years ranging 1-15 years. Due to short-life span, rapid
progression and large number of foci, dogs are used to study tumors in women. Mammary
gland tumors are the commonest type of neoplasms observed in intact female
dogs. Advancing age has a positive correlation with the development of these
tumors. Posterior mammary glands are mostly affected. Spayed bitches have a lower
incidence of mammary tumors than intact ones. Surgical resection along with
adjuvant chemotherapy is considered to be efficacious treatment in the
treatment of these tumors. Author discusses epidemiology, incidence, etiology, diagnosis,
prognosis, hematology and treatments for these neoplasms in dogs.
Key Words: Mammary, tumor,
