Abstract
Canine prostate cancer is a relatively rare condition that accounts for less than 1% of all cancers diagnosed in dogs (Obradovich., 1987; Bryan., 2007). Out of 431 dogs with prostatic conditions diagnosed in a Dutch center, 56 suffered from prostatic carcinoma (Teske., 2002). Several forms have been identified, of which adenocarcinoma (AC), transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), and undifferentiated cell carcinoma are the most common (Bennett., 2018; Cunto., 2019).
