   Apr 5, 2024 · Mast cell tumors (MCTs) are common cutaneous neoplasms in dogs. As treatment recommendations and prognostic factors for MCTs continually change, this article aims to demystify the clinical approach to MCTs by reviewing indications for use of the MCT prognostic panel, the clinical relevance of regional lymph node metastasis, and various local and systemic therapies.

   Surgery to remove a low-grade MCT (that hasn’t spread) is sometimes enough to cure the problem.

   As well as the removing the lump, your vet will need to take some of the skin from around it to make sure all the cancerous cells are removed. This means that the wound from surgery is likely to be...

   It’s very important to monitor your dog and their wound closely after their surgery to make sure the stitches holding the wound together don’t break down and it doesn’t become infected.

   Chemotherapy is often recommended for high-grade MCTs.

   Your vet might recommend a special type of chemotherapy (for example masitnib and torcerinib) which specifically targets certain types of MCTs.

   Your vet may recommend surgery before or after chemotherapy depending on the grade of their MCT.

   Sadly, with high grade MCTs that have already spread, chemotherapy is not always effective.

   Radiotherapy is sometimes recommended alongside other treatments for some MCT’s, for example if it’s not been possible to completely remove the MCT from your dog’s skin.

   Some dogs with MCTs benefit from medications such as anti-histamines (because MCTs release histamines) or stomach protectants (because histamines can cause stomach problems).

In limited published cases, eyelid margin MCTs appeared to have relatively benign behavior and were effectively treated with local therapy, although one dog was reported to have regional lymph node (LN) metastasis. 9 – 11 MCT of the conjunctiva may be of concern only locally, without reported metastasis in three dogs. 12, 13 In a paper evaluating chemotherapy for high ...

   Aug 21, 2023 · Removal of metastatic LNs significantly improves survival in dogs with stage II MCTs, and many dogs with low- or intermediate-grade stage II MCTs can enjoy a good prognosis and be treated with surgery alone without the need for adjuvant chemotherapy (Marconato et al., 2018). As discussed above, LNs should ideally be removed, even if cytologically negative for metastasis, due to the risk of ...

   The adjuvant use of TKIs such as toceranib (Palladia) or masitinib (Kinavet/Masivet) is not well studied, though one retrospective study reported improved outcome in dogs with high risk MCT receiving adjuvant vinblastine and prednisolone compared to those receiving masitinib. 4 The other major challenge with adjuvant use of TKIs is determining appropriate duration of treatment. The use of ...

   Can a dog get a MCT?

   • Surgery to remove low-grade MCT’s can sometimes cure the problem, but high-grade MCT’s have often spread by the time they are diagnosed, and tend to be much more difficult to treat. If your dog has a MCT their outlook will depend how aggressive it is, where it is, if it's spread, and how well it responds to treatment.
