27 dogs with inadequately excised cutaneous mast cell tumors were treated with a combination from vinblastine and prednisolone.
20 dogs which were available for a follow-up one year later: 14 dogs showed no mast cell tumors, One dog showed local recurrence, four dogs had new tumors and one dog showed both.
There was no tumor-related mortality in all dogs. Although toxicity from the chemotherapy was generally mild, one dog dies of sepsis during treatment.
