Ultrastructure of Feline Mammary Hypertrophy

Feline Mammary Tumors

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 progesti...

HER2-positive feline mammary carcinoma

models have been crucial to increase knowledge about oncogenic mechanisms but due to the limitations of rodents and cell culture approaches, they are viewed as artificial models, whereas the spontaneous tumors in pets are empirically considered to be a more powerful and reliable tool. With the publication and full annotation of cat's genome [1], researchers showed that the genome of the cat was...

P-cadherin expression in feline mammary tissues

The search for molecular markers in the feline mammary gland, namely, the adhesion molecules belonging to the cadherin family, is useful in the understanding of the development of mammary carcinomas in felines and humans. To study P-cadherin expression in the feline mammary gland, 61 samples of normal (n = 4), hyperplastic (n = 12), and neoplastic (n = 45) feline mammary tissues were examined. ...
