Understanding Mammary Tumors in Pets
Mammary tumors are one of the most common tumors in female dogs and can range from benign to malignant. Outlook varies depending on tumor size, grade, and whether it has spread.
Who it tends to affect
- Typical size: Can affect female dogs of any size
- Typical age: Most commonly diagnosed in middle-aged to older intact female dogs
Can my pet join — does breed matter?
Most mammary tumor trials focus on malignant tumors and enroll based on grade, whether surgery has been performed, and overall health — not breed. Intact and spayed female dogs may both be eligible depending on the study.
Most trials are open to all breeds and set requirements by size, weight, age, and diagnosis instead. Our matching service checks your pet's specific details against each study's actual requirements.
