Comparative mammary oncology: canine model
Mammary tumors are the most frequent neoplastic processes of the female dog and represent a problem of large impact in veterinary medicine. In this context, many efforts are being directed towards adopting criteria towards standardization of the diagnosis, understanding behavior and tumor evolution and evaluating prognostic and predictive factors such as: morphology, oncogenes expression and ge...
متن کاملCanine Mammary Carcinomas: A Comparative Analysis of Altered Gene Expression
Breast cancer represents the second most frequent neoplasm in humans and sexually intact female dogs after lung and skin cancers, respectively. Many similar features in human and dog cancers including, spontaneous development, clinical presentation, tumor heterogeneity, disease progression and response to conventional therapies have supported development of this comparative model as an alternat...
متن کاملClassification and grading of canine malignant mammary tumors
Histological grading is a good parameter to stratify tumors according to their biological aggressiveness. The Elston and Ellis grading method in humans, invasive ductal breast carcinomas and other invasive tumors are routinely used. The aims of this study were classification of mammary gland tumors and also application of a human grading method in canine mammary carcinoma. The samples included ...
متن کاملCanine Mammary Osteosarcomas
Spontaneous mammary tumours frequently appear in women, dogs, cats and rodents. Their origin is known only in mice, where the mouse mammary tumour virus (MMTV) gives rise to them. Sexual hormones are involved in the development of mammary tumours; in women, oestrogen is important and most studied whereas progesterone is more important in the dog, where spaying at early age prevents mammary tumo...
متن کاملExpression of prolactin receptors in normal canine mammary tissue, canine mammary adenomas and mammary adenocarcinomas
BACKGROUND Mammary tumors represent the most common neoplastic disease in female dogs. Recently, the promoting role of prolactin (PRL) in the development of human breast carcinoma has been shown. Possible proliferative, anti-apoptotic, migratory and angiogenic effects of PRL on human mammary cancer cells in vitro and in vivo were suggested. The effects of PRL are mediated by its receptor, and a...
