title: Tumors in domestic animals examined during a ten-year period (1980 to 1989) at Miyazaki University.
abstract: During the ten years from 1980 to 1989 inclusive, a total of 468 (16.1%) tumors were found in 2,907 pathological samples from domestic animals, collected from Southern Kyushu, around Miyazaki City. In this study, canine tumors were collected most commonly (340/468 cases, 73%). In small animals, the skin and mammary gland were associated particularly with tumorigenetic hazards. In cattle, high incidence of leukemia and mesothelioma was found. These tendencies were almost the same as those we reported for the preceding ten-year period, although the number of cases of tumor was higher in this study.
