ct-11257	Root Kustritz, Margaret V.	Survey of owners of dogs with prostate carcinoma for identification of risk factors	2012	4	.pdf	application/pdf	2609	140	60	It has been shown that prostatic neoplasms from castrated dogs are more anaplastic than are those from intact dogs; frequency and pattern of metastases may or may not vary between these groups.5,9 At present, it can be stated that castration is not preventative against development of prostatic neoplasia and that lifelong exposure to androgens or non-androgen secretory products of the testes is not required for initiation or progression of prostatic neoplasia. One could argue that castrated dogs live longer than intact dogs so predisposition to neoplasia is only due to increased longevity of these animals.	cache/ct-11257.pdf	txt/ct-11257.txt
