- This study investigates acute phase proteins (APP) and antioxidant responses in feline malignant mammary tumors, which have not been previously researched in cats.
- The research compared serum levels of various biomarkers in 50 queens with tumors versus 12 healthy female cats, finding significant differences in several proteins and antioxidants.
- Important findings suggest that certain biomarkers like serum amyloid A and albumin are linked to tumor characteristics and patient prognosis, indicating that these measures could provide insights into the severity and survival outcomes of feline mammary tumors.
