Nottingham histological grade: criteria for scoring each grading parameter [adapted from Elston and Ellis (9)]. *Cells similar to normal surrounding parenchyma; **counted in 10 high-power fields, field diameter of 0.55 mm.
- Figure 2.
Kaplan–Meier curves of disease-free interval (DFI) and overall survival (OS) of cases included in each WHO tumor-size category. Female dogs with largest tumor diameter <3 cm had better survival outcomes but no statistical difference seemed to exist between the other two categories regarding DFI (log-rank test, p=0.03 for DFI; p=0.04 for OS). Censoring is indicated by vertical marks.
- Figure 3.
Kaplan–Meier plots comparing the disease-free interval (DFI) and overall survival (OS) of 59 female dogs according to largest tumor diameter. Cases with ≥2.9 cm were associated with poor survival (log-rank test, p=0.009 for DFI and p=0.02 for OS). Censoring is indicated by vertical marks.
- Figure 4.
Disease-free interval (DFI) and overall survival (OS) of 59 female dogs with grade I, grade II and grade III mammary malignant tumors. Significant differences existed between the three curves (log-rank test, p=0.002 for DFI and p=0.02 for OS). Censoring is indicated by vertical marks.
- Figure 5.
Kaplan–Meier analyses of disease-free interval (DFI) and overall survival (OS) among 59 female dogs with malignant mammary tumors. Animals with tumors graded I or II had a significantly longer DFI and OS when compared to animals with tumors graded III, according to the Nottingham histological grading method (log-rank test, p<0.0001 for DFI and p=0.008 for OS). Censoring is indicated by vertical marks.
- Figure 6.
Disease-free interval (DFI) and overall survival (OS) curves of female dogs with tumors scored 1 or 2 in nuclear pleomorphism compared to female dogs with tumors scored 3 in this parameter. Nuclear pleomorphism was significantly associated with survival (log-rank test, p<0.0001 for DFI and OS). Censoring is indicated by vertical marks.

A: Receiver operating characteristic curve for tumor progression in 59 female dogs based on the veterinary-adapted Nottingham Prognostic Index (NPI). The NPI had good discriminative power between tumors that progressed within the first 12 months post-surgery and those that did not progress. B: Kaplan–Meier plots of disease-free interval (DFI) and overall survival (OS) among 59 female dogs with malignant mammary tumors grouped by the NPI cut-off. NPI ≥4.25 was associated with poor survival outcomes (log-rank test, p<0.0001 for DFI and p=0.001 for OS curves). Censoring is indicated by vertical marks.
