Abstract

Background Mammary tumors of dogs are an excellent model to investigate the clinical and pathological diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. Interleukins play a key role in cancer, particularly interleukin-8, which has tumorigenic and pro-angiogenic properties and interleukin-12, with anti-metastatic and angiogenic properties. The carbohydrate antigen tumor marker (CA 15-3) has important clinical significance in the monitoring of patients with breast cancer and, in addition, free circulating DNA has been considered a candidate biomarker for cancer. The aim of this study was to measure serum levels of interleukin-8, 12, CA 15-3 and to estimate the number of copies of CAN SINE sequences to correlate with clinicopathological parameters and survival.
