Abstract

Mammary tumors are the most common neoplasms in dogs and are a frequent cause of death in bitches. Until recently, cancer was considered exclusively as a surgical disease, however, frequent failures of surgical treatment of tumors of a certain localization and stages of the blastomonosis process caused the need to search for new methods of therapy. The aim of the study was to scientifically substantiate and develop optimal schemes for the use of a tissue antitumor vaccine for mammary neoplasms in bitches. It was established that mammary tumors in bitches make up more than 50% of all neoplasms in dogs, and the frequency of their malignant manifestation increases with the age of the animals. The clinical features of blastomogenesis at different stages of benign tumors and inflammatory mammary cancer were clarified. The object of the research were bitches with benign mammary tumors (T2, T3), from which two experimental groups were formed. According to the results of the clinical experiment, it was established that the use of an antitumor vaccine accelerated the healing time of the surgical wound by an average of 3.2 days, contributed to the prevention of postoperative complications and recurrence of the blastomonosis process. The proposed complex scheme of surgical-conservative treatment of dogs with mammary tumors increases the body's resistance to the blastomonosis process, stimulates regenerative processes and contributes to a more favorable course of the postoperative period. The data obtained can be used for further study of the nature of neoplasms in dogs, development of new methods of their treatment and prevention.
