Subcutaneous mast cell tumours: A prospective multi‐institutional clinicopathological and prognostic study of 43 dogs

Abstract

ScMCTs have a good prognosis. However, the metastatic rate at admission was higher in this study than previously reported, and a subset of tumours were associated with a fatal outcome despite multimodal treatment. Proliferative activity and cytograding may predict more aggressive behaviour in ScMCTs.
