Prognostic significance of YKL-40 expression in canine cutaneous mast cell tumors
This study found that the YKL-40 expression level was significantly stronger in low-grade than in high-grade canine cutaneous mast cell tumors and was associated with various clinical and pathological features. Stronger YKL-40 expression level correlated with longer survival time, especially in low-grade cMCTs. Therefore, YKL-40 could serve as a prognostic marker for cMCTs.
