Cover Story: Feline mammary carcinoma (FMC) is a common and aggressive cancer with poor prognosis. Despite its clinical relevance, current staging systems—adapted from WHO—lack the precision needed for effective risk stratification. Drawing on parallels with human breast cancer, we evaluated prognostic clinicopathological features and tested a new staging system based on the 7th edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual. This refined system, which introduces the T4 category and further subdivides Stage III, aims to increase prognostic accuracy and guide treatment decisions. This system improves risk classification and supports more tailored treatment strategies. View this paper
