Southwest Veterinary Oncology, PLLC. FELINE MAMMARY GLAND TUMORS
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Mammary cancer is the third most common cancer in the cat. The average age of cats presenting with mammary tumors is 10-12 years. Siamese cats appear to have twice the risk of developing mammary cancers than other breeds. Recent studies suggest that spayed female cats have a 40-60% lower risk of mammary cancer than intact females. There is a strong association with the use of synthetic progestins or estrogen-progestin combinations (i.e. Ovaban) and development of mammary tumors in the cat. Ninety per cent of the mammary tumors in cats are malignant.
