Below is some information on the most common cancers seen in dogs.
1. Lymphoma or Lymphosarcoma.
Lymphoma is among the most common type of tumor seen in dogs, representing 20 percent of all canine cancers. Currently, dogs are 2-5 times more likely than people to develop lymphoma. This tumor can affect any breed of dog at any age.
2. Hemangiosarcoma.
Hemangiosarcoma is a tumor that develops from cells that line blood vessels (endothelial cells). This tumor most commonly affects middle-aged or older dogs of any breed. There is an increased frequency in golden retrievers and German shepherds.
3. Osteosarcoma.
Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary bone tumor in the dog. It most frequently affects the long bones (front and rear limbs) of the dog, but it can be found in any bone including the skull or ribs. This tumor is usually associated with the giant dog breeds, with Great Danes being 200 times more likely than toy breeds to be affected.
4. Mast Cell Tumor.
Mast cells are immune cells found throughout the body that play an important role in allergic reactions. Most mast cell tumors are found on the skin and may be detected by a sudden swelling or growth. Boxers and bulldogs are more frequently diagnosed with mast cell tumors compared to other breeds.
5. Melanoma.
Melanoma or malignant melanoma is a tumor made of pigmented or dark skin cells that can be found anywhere on the dog’s body. Any dog can be affected, but dogs with dark skin or hair coats, such as the Scottish terrier or doberman pinscher, are more frequently diagnosed. Melanomas behave differently depending on which part of the body they are affecting.
