Abstract excerpt
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that specifically target cKIT represent a therapeutic approach for non-resectable canine mast cell tumours (MCTs) grade II/III. The therapeutic benefit of TKIs has been investigated in other tumours based on clinical response rates and identification of gain-of-function mutations. In the present study, cKIT expression in 14 dogs with osteosarcoma, melanoma, haemangiosarcoma,...
