Plain-English summary
A 10-year-old spaniel was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. This condition was identified through genetic testing, which revealed a specific chromosomal change. While the abstract does not detail the treatment or outcome, dogs with skin cancer often undergo surgery or other therapies to manage the disease. It's important for pet owners to consult their veterinarian for the best course of action if they notice unusual growths on their dog's skin.
