Abstract
Mammary gland tumour (MGT) is the most commonly diagnosed tumour in female dogs and the third most common tumour in female cats. While surgical excision is the primary treatment options for mammary gland tumours, there is still lack of evidence on the most effective surgical techniques for the management of canine and feline MGT. The aims of this study were to evaluate the influence of different surgical approach on clinical outcomes in cats and dogs with MGT and to determine the factors influencing survival in these patients. Medical records of 80 surgically treated dogs and 46 cats with MGT between 2013 and 2022 in University Veterinary Hospital, Universiti Putra Malaysia were reviewed. Patient data and follow up information were recorded and analysed using SPSS. All the cats and dogs are female. The mean diagnosis age for dogs and cats were 9.6 years (± 2.05) and 11.22 years (± 3.57), respectively. Among all the cases, 54 (76.0%) dogs and 43 (98.0%) cats had malignant tumours. The most common breeds were mongrel, mixed breed and Shih Tzu (9.1%) and domestic shorthair cat (65.2%). The mean survival times in dogs for malignant and benign tumour were 20.91 (± 23.96) and 42.55 (± 20.98) months respectively; while in cats, 7.33 (± 7.33) months for malignant tumour. In dogs with malignant tumour, unilateral and regional mastectomy was associated with longer survival time (p < 0.05); however, there was no significant association between surgical techniques and survival time in cats. In dogs, small breed size was significant prognostic factor. While in cats, most of the factors were not prognostically significant except neuter status where cat neutered before 2 years old or before mastectomy had longer disease-free interval (p < 0.05). In conclusion, different surgical approaches affect the clinical outcomes of dogs with malignant mammary tumour but not the feline counterparts.
