Mitotic index (MI) is an indirect measure of cellular proliferation indices and directly correlates with histologic grade; it is a strong predictor for overall survival. Dogs with cutaneous MCTs with a MI of 5 or less had a significantly longer survival time than those with a MI greater than 5, regardless of histologic grade (Romansik et al. 2007; Berlato et al. 2015). Mitotic count is also prognostic among dogs with a Kiupel high‐grade MCT (Moore et al. 2020).
