Integrated Study of Canine Mammary Tumors Histopathology, Immunohistochemistry, and Cytogenetic Findings.

ABSTRACT: Cancer is a complex pathological condition associated with substantial rates of mortality and morbidity in both humans and animals. Mammary gland tumors in intact female dogs are the most prevalent neoplasms. Surgical intervention remains the primary treatment choice. Alternative therapeutic options have emerged, with histopathological examination being fundamental to confirm the diagnosis and to decide the best therapy.
