Abstract

In breast tumors, inflammatory changes are common, mainly caused by neoplasias that metastasize. This work aims to evaluate the concentration of C Reactive Protein, correlating the alterations of total proteins and albumin in dogs with ductal carcinoma in situ and to demonstrate the hematological alterations found. Thirteen dogs diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ were screened by cytopathological examination and confirmed by histopathology. It is concluded that CRP is an acute phase protein that rises independently of total proteins and albumin and hematological changes are of little relevance for the diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ.
