Surgical dose and the clinical outcome in the treatment of mammary gland tumours in female dogs: a literature review.

ABSTRACT: Mammary gland tumours are the most frequent tumours in intact female dogs and surgery remains the main treatment modality. Surgery is traditionally performed according to the lymphatic drainage of the mammary glands, but robust evidence is still lacking on what surgical dose is the smallest and results in the best outcome. The objective of the study was to investigate whether choice of surgical dose influences treatment outcome in dogs with mammary tumours and to identify current gaps in research that need to be filled in future studies for identifying the smallest surgical dose with the best possible outcome. Articles for entrance into the study were identified in online databases. Information regarding outcome following use of different surgical doses was extracted for analysis. Also, kn
