Review on Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor (CTVT)

Abstract

Tumor is a genetic disease. Damage to the cellular genome is a common feature for virtually all neoplasms, despite the facts that neoplasms arise in a broad variety of tissues and that diverse agents such as viruses, mutagenic chemicals, and radiation induce their outgrowth. The genetic damage produced by carcinogens is believed to be random, and many mutations may be inconsequential [1]. Canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) also known as Sticker’s sarcoma, Sticker tumor, transmissible venereal tumor (TVT), contagious venereal tumor, transmissible lymphosarcoma, transmissible venereal sarcoma, veneral granuloma, infectious granuloma, canine condyloma, infectious sarcoma and contagious lymphosarcoma [2].
