- dos survived longed with what clinical finding?
- conclusion?
MST was 139 days
Dogs w/ epistaxis survived sig longer
Conclusion: Initial clinical response followed by progressive disease. Medication decreased clinical signs associated w/ nasal carcinoma

PFS 225 days, MST 365 days
No difference in cats that received 1 versus greater than 1 fraction
Negative prognostic factors: Cribriform lysis and intracalvarial involvement
No cats developed acute adverse effects.
Ten cats developed late adverse effects
Nell VRU 2020
Volumetric tumor response assessment is inefficient without overt clinical benefit compared to conventional, manual veterinary response assessment in canine nasal tumors
- I honestly can’t understand this paper so not sure what I put here….
The automatically generated tumor volumes were not useful for canine nasal tumors in this study
The radiologist’s manual linear method of determining response evaluation criteria in solid tumors categorization and tumor volume is significantly faster but significantly underestimates nasal tumor volume when compared to a contour-based method
response evaluation criteria in solid tumors categorization and percentage volume change were strongly correlated, providing validity to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors as a rapid method of tumor response assessment for canine nasal tumors
Stevens VRU 2020
Definitive-intent intensity modulated radiotherapy for modified-Adams’ stage 4 canine sinonasal cancer: a retrospective study of 29 cases (2011-2017)
- did dogs improve?
- PFI? MST?
- most common side effect?
All evaluable dogs had improvement in clinical signs
Median PFI was 177 days, MST was 319 days
Radiotherapy was well-tolerated; most common side effect was grade 1 or 2 mucositis (85%)
Giuliano JFMS 2020
Clinical response and survival time of cats with carcinoma of the nasal cavity treated with palliative coarse fractionated radiotherapy
- % clinical improvement?
- MST? Two factors that decreased MST?
- Side effects?
Improvement in clinical signs in 24/26 (92%) cats
MST 342 days
- Adams modified stage IV MST 152d
- Facial deformity MST 67d
Severe RT-related signs not reported. Alopecia and leukotrichia most common side effects in 10 cases
Chiti Vet Sx 2018
Lip-to-nose flap for nasal plane reconstruction in dogs: A cadaveric and in vivo feasibility study
- type of flap, from where?
- what layer needs to be incorporated?
- outcome?
Unilateral interpolation flap from caudal upper lip skin
Incorporation of labial mucosa guaranteed complete & uncomplicated wound healing of flap; small area necrosis occurred at donor site, resolved in a few days
Led to satisfactory cosmetic outcome
Dickerson Vet Sx 2019
Outcome following cosmetic rostral nasal reconstruction after planectomy in 26 dogs
- % complications?
- MST?
- O satisfaction?
Complications 19 (73%) dogs, 9 (35%) needing revision surgery ; 1 dog didn’t survive to discharge
MST 1542 d
11 owners interviewed – 10 satisfied w/ dog’s appearance, 8 consent to procedure again
Massari Vet Sx 2020
Lip-to-nose flap for reconstruction of the nasal planum after curative intent excision of SCC in cats: Description of technique and outcome in 7 cats
- major complications?
- cosmetic/functional outcome?
- MST/follow-up?
No major complications, all had successful healing
Cosmetic / long-term functional outcomes considered good in all cats
Median follow up 485 d, end of study all cats alive w/o recurrence!!
Goldschmidt Vet Sx 2020
Influence of skull biometrics on cosmetic reconstruction after incisivectomy and nasal planectomy reconstruction in dogs
- predictive of success?
- measurements correlated with inferior outcome?
No biometric ratios were predictive of procedural success
Objective measurements significantly correlated with inferior outcome:
- width of the nasal planum (>3 cm)
- width of the caudal maxilla (>6.2 cm)
- lip thickness (>0.5 cm)
- width of the labial flap (>2.9 cm)
- length of the incision created to make the cosmetic “philtrum” (longer incisions >2.8 cm)
- philtrum placement (more dorsal placement)

CASE REPORT
Transpalatal reconstruction and stenting for treatment of choanal atresia and nasopharyngeal stenosis in a dog
Ventral rhinotomy performed - dissection of the membranous NPS and reconstruction of the caudal part of the nasopharynx. Covered stent was placed.
Recurrence in signs 3 weeks later
Stenosis rostra to stent
Balloon dilation and second covered stent
11 months later doing well clinically
Zhang JSAP 2020
CASE REPORT
Nasal planum reconstruction after tumor resection using a lip-to-nose flap in a dog
MCT removed by resecting the roof and wing of the left nasal vestibule.
Interpolation subdermal plexus flap was derived from the left caudal lip with vascular contribution from the lateral nasal artery
Mucocutaneous junction of lip was used to emulate the keratinised nasal planum
Liu Vet Sx 2019
Objective effectiveness of and indications for laser-assisted turbinectomy in BOAS
- 2 breeds?
- Median BOAS index pre and post op?
- % dogs with BOAS index >50% post LATE?
- Predictor for candidacy for LATE?
All candidates were pugs and frenchies
Median BOAS index decreased from 67% post-CMS to 42% after LATE
20% dogs had BOAS index > 50% after LATE
Soft tissue proportion at the rostral entrance of choanae was the only predictor for candidacy for LATE
