Mammary Adenocarcinoma

Mammary carcinomas and adenocarcinomas (MACs) are relatively common tumors in cats. The post excisional survival period of affected cats is inversely proportional to tumor size, but the reported median survival periods for different tumor size categories is quite variable. A mammary tumor is a neoplasm originating in the mammary gland. It is a common finding in older female dogs and cats that are not spayed, but they are found in other animals as well.
