Main Results:

  • Mast cell tumors and soft tissue sarcomas necessitate thorough staging.
  • Surgical intervention is a primary treatment modality.
  • Adjuvant therapies play a crucial role in patient outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Veterinary oncologists must stay abreast of evolving surgical oncology techniques.
  • Comprehensive staging and tailored adjuvant therapy are critical for managing canine and feline mast cell tumors and soft tissue sarcomas.
  • Familiarity with these common neoplasms improves patient care and prognosis.
