Allen SW et al Canine mammary neoplasia: prognostic indicators and response to surgical therapy & Hahn, et al, Canine Malignant mammary neoplasia:
Bitch spayed before first estrous cycle have 0.5% risk compared with intact bitch. Bitch spayed before second cycle have 8% risk compared with intact bitch. Dogs spayed after second estrus have 26% risk compared with intact bitch. Dogs spayed after 2.5 years of age have no sparing effect. Tumors are uncommon under the age of 5. Median age is 10.5 years. Only 50% are malignant.
