One of the primary objectives of the Oncology-Pathology Working Group (OPWG), a joint initiative of the Veterinary Cancer Society and the American College of Veterinary Pathologists, is for oncologists and pathologists to collaboratively generate consensus documents to standardize aspects of and provide guidelines for oncologic pathology. Consensus is established through critical review of peer-reviewed literature relevant to a subgroup's particular focus. Subsequent acceptance and approval of the document by the OPWG membership at large establishes consensus. The intent of this publication is to help educate practitioners and pathologists on the value of diagnostics related to the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase for canine cutaneous mast cell tumours and to provide a guide for the use of these tests in veterinary medicine. This document represents the opinions of the OPWG and the authors and does not constitute a formal endorsement by the American College of Veterinary Pathologists or the Veterinary Cancer Society.
肿瘤病理学工作组（OPWG）是兽医癌症协会和美国兽医病理学家学院的联合倡议，其主要目标之一是让肿瘤学家和病理学家共同制定共识文件，以规范肿瘤病理学的各个方面并提供指导方针。通过对与特定小组重点相关的同行评议文献进行严格审查来达成共识。随后，OPWG 的全体成员接受和批准该文件即可确立共识。本出版物的目的是帮助从业者和病理学家了解与犬皮肤肥大细胞瘤的 KIT 受体酪氨酸激酶相关的诊断的价值，并为这些测试在兽医医学中的使用提供指南。本文件代表 OPWG 和作者的意见，并不构成美国兽医病理学家学院或兽医癌症协会的正式认可。
