  • Title: Canine mast cell tumors.
    Author: Macy DW.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract; 1985 Jul; 15(4):783-803. PubMed ID: 3929444.
    Abstract:
    Despite the fact that the mast cell tumor is a common neoplasm of the dog, we still have only a meager understanding of its etiology and biologic behavior. Many of the published recommendations for treatment are based on opinion rather than facts derived from careful studies and should be viewed with some skepticism. Because of the infrequent occurrence of this tumor in man, only a limited amount of help can be expected from human oncologists; therefore, burden of responsibility for progress in predicting behavior and developing treatment effective for canine mast cell tumors must fall on the shoulders of the veterinary profession.
