Canine Mast Cell Tumor

Mast Cells are special type of skin cells that cause cancer in dogs. Currently, I am doing research to find out more about this devastating disease that effects millions of dogs each year.

What I Know about Canine Mast Cell Tumors

Mast Cell tumors are primarily an immune dysfunction disease. The tumors form when the body does not realize something has gone wrong. It often takes years before the tumors are large enough to spot.

What is done to Fight Canine Mast Cell Tumor

Drugs called “immune modulators” are given to dogs to build their immune response. Hopefully, the dog’s body will begin to recognize what is going wrong and start fighting. Then the body’s natural immune system will attack the mast cell tumor and the dog can return to a natural state of health.

Chemotherapy is Toxic

Currently chemotherapy is given to dogs with all forms of cancer, including canines with mast cell tumors. I understand this. I even support this.

I took chemotherapy when I had breast cancer. I would never deny any dog with mast cell tumors chemotherapy. However, the fact of the matter is simple. Chemotherapy is toxic. There has to be a better answer. There has to be something better. We need to find something better for our dogs.

If I didn’t like the effects of chemotherapy, then I know my dog won’t like the effects of chemotherapy. Mast cell tumors and the various other cancers in dogs need to be treated with less toxic side effects. Let’s work together to get our dogs a safer dog cancer treatment.
