Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to inform you of the invitation to contribute to our Special Issue titled "New Insights into Canine Tumors". This Special Issue serves as a platform to showcase innovative advancements in the field of cancer diagnosis and treatment, disseminating the cutting-edge research findings and technological innovations that have emerged in recent years. The primary focus of this Special Issue is to explore and present the latest developments in cancer diagnostics and therapeutic approaches. Our goal is to provide readers with insights into the transformative technologies and strategies that are reshaping the landscape of cancer research and clinical practice. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses a wide range of topics, including cancer immunotherapy, genetic mutation analysis, liquid biopsy, immunotherapy biomarkers, combination treatments, cancer vaccines, early detection markers, artificial intelligence applications, and biome analysis. We aim to cover various aspects, including how these technologies are applied in cancer research and patient care. Furthermore, we will delve into the valuable insights gained from cancer treatment research in companion animals. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in the field, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing among researchers, clinicians, and experts in oncology. This Special Issue is poised to serve as a valuable supplement to the existing body of literature by showcasing the latest technologies and treatment methodologies. It will function as an up-to-date resource that bridges the gap between the prior research and contemporary innovations in the realm of cancer diagnosis and treatment. We invite you to contribute your expertise and research to this Special Issue, enriching our understanding of cancer and its management. Your valuable insights and contributions will play an instrumental role in advancing the field.

Cancer is a complex pathological condition associated with substantial rates of mortality and morbidity in both humans and animals. Mammary gland tumors in intact female dogs are the most prevalent neoplasms. Surgical intervention remains the primary treatment choice. Alternative therapeutic options have emerged, with histopathological examination being fundamental to confirm the diagnosis and to decide the best therapy. This research focused on the clinicopathological, immunohistochemical, and cytogenetic aspects of canine mammary tumors (CMTs). Most of the animals were mixed-breed, with the majority being older than seven years, and only 16.7% had been spayed before surgery. Caudal abdominal and inguinal mammary glands were the most affected, with regional mastectomy being the predominant treatment (75.0%). Of all the tumors, 29.1% were benign, while 70.9% were malignant. Complex adenoma was the most common benign tumor, whereas tubulopapillary carcinoma was the most common malignant type. Grade III tumors (17.6%) were the least encountered, while grades I and II exhibited a similar prevalence (41.2%). All the carcinomas were classified as luminal, and cytogenetics analysis demonstrated a high chromosomal instability with significant aneuploidy observed in all cases and polyploidy detected in 62.5%. This study holds significance as canine and human breast cancers share similar characteristics, suggesting that dogs could be a valuable model for human breast cancer research. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to enhance our understanding of CMTs. Full article
