Answer 6

Tumor location
(extremities = longer, mucocutaneous = worse)

Answer 8

Decreased: interscapular, R&L thorax region
Increased: R fore limb, combined R RL + R lat abd, combined L RL + L lat abd
Same: tumor classification & signalment

What was the most commonly fractured bone?

Answer 10

At Dx = 8%
At euthanasia = 38%
Most common = femur

Answer 14

High lymphocytes (>1,000/uL)
High monocytes (>400/uL)
High ALP (>142 IU/L)
Humerus
Age <8yo

Question 15

What bone is the most and least develop pathologic Fx in dogs with bone tumor?

Answer 15

Most = femur 57%
Least = radius 20%

Question 16

Does additional chemo to RT affect longer tumor specific ST in cats with nasal LSA?

Answer 16

No

Question 17

What is Sx recommendation for canine mammary tumors?

Answer 17

Single MGT
-Complete removal of the tumor (lumpectomy)
-Fixed tumor or ulcered skin that are <1cm: local mastectomy
-Large tumor: generalized or 2cm lateral margins
-Deep margins = include abd m. fascia and/or portions of abd wall w en block
Multiple MGTs
-More extensive Sx such as regional mastectomy, unilateral or bilateral chain mastectomy
-Young intact: elective unilateral or bilateral chain mastectomy d/t development of additional tumors

Question 18

What is the Sx recommendation for feline mammary tumors?

Answer 18

Unilateral chain mastectomy if single tumor
Staged bilateral chain mastectomy if bilateral tumors
Fibroepithelial hyperplasia: OHE or medical hormone therapy

Question 19

What is the recommendation for canine benign mammary tumor?

Answer 19

Primary tumor removal & OHE

to decrease risk of new tumor development and uterine/ovarian diseases
