My dog has a painful, open abdominal lump. Could it be cancer?

Question

My dog has a large lump on her abdomen, it looks rather like a volcano. The sore is open, but I can’t see any signs of pus or mucus, beside the area I have described is also some mole like lumps that appear to be black, my dog also cannot walk on her hind leg as a result of the sore, I think it rubs against the ulcer like sore. I am concerned and was googling before I take her to the vet, then this question box popped up, would you have any ideas? my thought is cancer :(. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

This large lump needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take Roara to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis.
