Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: KIT inhibitors, such as toceranib (TOC), and vinblastine (VBL) have not been prospectively compared in the treatment of macroscopic mast cell tumors (MCTs). Also, it is unknown whether VBL or TOC is superior for treating MCT without c-kit mutations. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES: To determine the value of KIT genotyping and localization in treatment decisions for dogs with macroscopic MCT. We hypothesized...
