I have no idea if this is right. I have a 14 year old Shih Tzu that I did not get spayed until she was 3 1/2 years old and she has never been sick other than with her teeth and she had to have major dental work last year. I guess they are just like people some will get cancer and some won't.

Wish I could be of more help.
