These tumors differ in their potential for local invasion and metastatic dissemination. In September, most diagnosed cases occurred in females over 8 years of age (50.0%; 3 cases), followed by those aged 5–8 years (33.3%; 2 cases). Only one case (16.6%) was identified in the 3–5-year age group, and no cases were recorded in cats younger than 3 years. In October of the same year, of the 10 cases documented, the majority were again identified in females over 8 years of age (5 cases; 50.0%), followed by the 5–8-year age group (3 cases; 30.0%). The 3–5-year category accounted for 2 cases (20.0%). Similar to the previous month, in October, no mammary tumors were reported in cats under 3 years of age. It is noteworthy that unspayed females exhibit a significantly higher predisposition to such gynecological pathologies. Across the two months analyzed—September and October 2025—only 5 cats diagnosed with mammary tumors (45.5%) were spayed, whereas 11 (54.5%) were unspayed.EnglishAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/mammary tumorscatsbreedage distributionspayinghormone-dependent neoplasiaMammary gland tumors in cats – aspects between clinical stage and prognosisArticle2393-4603https://doi.org/10.61900/SPJVS.2025.04.08
