FSA

Question 1

According to Gardner (2015, FSA), which of the following were predictors of median survival time, more than one is correct?
A) location
B) tumor size
C) type of surgery
D) margins
E) Grade

Answer 1

All of them

Maxillary location was surprisingly better

Question 2

According to Gardner, which of the following was true in regards to FSA?
A) Labs are the most affected breed
B) mandible is the most common location
C) Radiation alone may increase survival time
D) Treatment combination of surgery and radiation therapy provided the longest median survival time.

Answer 2

D is correct
Goldens most affected
Maxillary most common location
Radiation alone does not increase survival time.

Doxyrubicin had no effect and no conclusion about chemo drawn

Question 3

In Gardner regarding FSA, which of the following was not a positive predictors of progression free survival?
A) Surgery and radiation
B) Radiation protocol
C) Size
D) Tumor grade

Answer 3

C)
A, B increased PFS
Higher tumor grade was related to worse survival.

A) 24.1% developed local recurrence
B) 24.1% developed mets
C) 1 year survival was 57.8%
D) low histo grade, biologically high grade tumors were associated with goldens (52%).

Answer 4

C) 1 year survival was 88%, 2 year survival was 57.8%

Question 5

According to Frazier, outcome in dogs with surgically resected Fibrosarcoma, what was the MST of dogs with surgical resection?
A) 653d
B) 243d
C) 743d
D) 372d

Answer 5

C) 743d, PFI>653d
