Evaluation of canine mast cell tumors for presence of estrogen receptors

1989

Larsen, A.E. | Grier, R.L.

Ten tumors from 7 dogs were analyzed for estrogen receptors. Of 9 determined to be mast cell tumors, 6 were determined not to have estrogen receptors (less than 3 fmol of estradiol/mg of cytosol protein) and 3 were questionable (3 to 10 fmol of estradiol/mg). One tumor was a mixed mammary tumor and was determined to have estrogen receptors (12 fmol of estradiol/mg). Histologic grading of the mast cell tumors did not suggest a correlation with estrogen receptor values.
