Cover Story: Breed predispositions on canine digital neoplasms are well known. However, there is currently no statistical analysis identifying the least affected breeds. To this end, 2912 canine amputated digits were statistically analyzed and predisposed as well as less affected breeds of the different digital neoplasms described. Further studies are needed to explain the underlying reasons for breed predisposition or “resistance” for the development of specific acral tumors and/or other sites. View this paper.
