For inoperable tumors, treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors may be attempted. In general, the prospect of cure is best in well-differentiated mastocytomas (low-grade or grade 1) and in animals without general signs (substages a). [18] Young dogs (<1 year of age) also have a better prognosis than older dogs. [29]
Diagnosis and treatment are similar to that of the dog. Cases involving difficult to remove or multiple tumors have responded well to strontium-90 radiotherapy as an alternative to surgery. [28] The prognosis for solitary skin tumors is good, but guarded for tumors in other organs. Histological grading of tumors has little bearing on prognosis ...
Dogs with primary hypothyroidism also have increased levels of growth hormone and IGF-1; however, thyroxine and thyroid stimulating hormone levels are normal in dogs with hypersomatotropism. [ 1 ] Progestogens administered to dogs may result in endogenous adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion being suppressed, which lowers the cortisol ...

Canine transmissible venereal tumors are histiocytic tumors that may be transmitted among dogs through coitus, licking, biting and sniffing tumor affected areas. The concept that the tumor is naturally transmissible as an allograft came from three important observations. First, CTVTs can only be experimentally induced by transplanting living ...
