Sažetak

Mammary neoplasia in cats rank third in frequency, with a malignancy rate of 80-90%. Mammary tumours are aggressive, grow rapidly and metastasize to regional lymph nodes, lung, liver and spleen. After surgical treatment, relapses are common. The most important prognostic factors to estimate the time and disease-free survival time after surgery include the size and volume of the tumour, and the type of operation. The smaller the tumour, the better the prognosis. It is assumed that sex hormones play a role in tumour formation. Early castration significantly reduces the risk of cancer, while the use of progestin increases the risk
of disease. Radical unilateral or bilateral mastectomy is the recommended surgical treatment. In advanced cases, surgical treatment in combination with chemotherapy significantly improves the prognosis.
