Ideally this dog should be fully staged to look for metastatic disease. The met rate for high grade MCTs is around 70%, therefore chemotherapy of some form (TKI (Masivet or Palladia) or conventional) would be indicated in this case. Do you know if the tumours have a c-KIT mutation? if so response to a TKI might be better than response to conventional chemotherapy.

Still waiting. More results should be available later today!

Mine too, as that should be curative for each lump

Because it has developed two tumours in a matter of a few weeks and I have no reason to believe there will not be more in the next few weeks. I am getting information together to give to the client when we get the final pathology reports through on Tuesday. The lab are doing additional staining and checking the newest mass.

Could it be spreading from somewhere as yet undiscovered?

If they all are surgically removable, why the Masivet?

Many thanks - this dog had a MCT on nose (removed 18 mths ago). One on its tail last week (now no tail). We have found another on its pinna (removable!). High grade (Patnaik & Kiupe).

Sooner or later this dog will have to change its name to Lucky!!

Thirty x 150mg tablets are 73 euros plus 28 euros delivery, so it pays to get a large order if you're confident that you'll need them. The 50mgs are 32 euros for thirty, same delivery charge of course.
