Improved classification, diagnosis and prognosis of canine round cell tumours

Abstract

As the name suggests, canine round cell tumour (RCTs) are composed of cells with a round morphology. There is some discrepancy amongst authors as to which tumours belong to this category, but most designate lymphomas, melanomas, plasmacytomas, transmissible venereal tumours (TVTs), histiocytomas, and mast and neuroendocrine cell tumours.
