This chapter covers: the molecular basis of cancer including oncogenes, tumour suppressor
genes, and regulators of apoptosis, the growth of tumours including metastasis, aetiologies …

This article reviews the literature on mast cells and tumours derived from mast cells in the
dog. Mast cells play a central role in inflammatory and inunune reactions. Mast cells, normal …

Ovarian steroid hormones and their synthetic derivatives may enhance mammary tumorigenesis
in dogs and cats. In toxicity studies of synthetic progestagens a dose-related effect has …

Currently, prognostic and therapeutic determinations for canine cutaneous mast cell tumors (MCTs)
are primarily based on histologic grade. However, the use of different grading …

As mammary tumours occur frequently in the dog and cat but rarely in other domestic animals,
only the tumours of these two species are classified. The epithelial tumours are termed “…

Naturally occurring skeletal osteosarcomas in a series of 144 untreated dogs were found
especially to involve the ends of the long bones of the forelimbs and affected predominantly …

Feline mammary carcinomas are, like human breast cancers, spontaneous, locally
infiltrative and metastasizing tumors. Therefore, this tumor disease in the cat can serve as a …

The morphology and biology of 179 malignant mammary tumors from 170 cats were
described. The site of tumors was nearly equally distributed among the 4 pairs of glands. The …

Oestrogen (ER) and progestin receptors (PR) were measured in cytosols from histologically
normal mammary tissues (n= 30), and in benign (n= 59) and malignant mammary lesions (n…
