| | Although observation of the behavior of a bitch when placed with a stud is the most reliable method of learning when the bitch is ready to breed, numerous exceptions to this philosophy indicate the value of vaginal exfoliative cytology. | | | Observation of behavior plus a review of vaginal cytology is an excellent pairing of complementary assessment. | | | Indications include her behavior and a persistent bloody vaginal discharge. |

| | Administration of anticancer drug during surgery seems reasonable when the rapid results of cytology are positive, since the accuracy of rapid result of cytology has been proven from this study and positive cytology has been revealed as a sensitive predictor for the development of peritoneal recurrence. | | | By analyzing the relationship between single-nucleotide polymorphisms and cancer susceptibility, we will be able to obtain information on cancer prevention from histopathology samples (8, 9, 10). | | | The degree of difference in prognosis between positive and negative cytology findings is suggested to be about one stage. |
