Q

staging for oral fibrosarcs

A

–Thoracic radiographs (sometime CT)

–CT / Radiographs- generally more bone involved than appreciated and visual inspection of soft tissue is deceiving

Q

treatment for oral fibrosarcs

A

–Surgery- must have large margins
–Radiation alone- must dose higher than 50 Gy or large fraction size
–Surgery + Radiation is best approach, but still rarely curative (median survival 18 months)

Q

apperance of feline SSC

A

Inflamed proliferative mass, or ulcer, or facial distortion

20
Q

SSC accounts for what percent of feline oral tumors

A

70

21
Q

age affected with SSC

A

11-12 years

22
Q

treatment for feline SSC

A

surgery + radiation for best (1 year) return

23
Q

appearance of feline oral fibrosarc

A

–Diffuse proliferative tissue

–13 -17 % of feline oral tumors

24
Q

age affected with feline oral fibrosarc

A

10 years

25
Q

treatment for feline oral fibrosarc

A

–Surgery
•Rarely possible to achieve clean margins
–Radiation
•Curative rarely helpful
•Palliative can slow progression/ shrink tumor for ~ 6 months

26
Q

other feline oral tumors

A 
–Melanoma
–Mast Cell Tumors
–Lymphosarcoma
–Osteosacoma
–Acanthomatous epulis
27
Q

SSC of the tonsils in dogs

A

cannot be cured; in cats, curable with radiation

28
Q

biologic behavior in dogs with nasal tumors

A

– Locally aggressive

– Metastasis as high as 50 % at necropsy

29
Q

nasal tumor types

A 
– 2/3 Carcinoma- adenocarcinoma, squamous cell
carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma
– Sarcomas less often- chondrosarcoma,
osteosarcoma
– Lymphosarcoma, and others
– Anaplastic tumors
30
Q

nasal tumor diagnosis

A 
• Diagnosis requires histopathology
• Imaging prior to biopsy
– Plain Films
– CT
– MRI
31
Q

diagnosis of nasal tumors

A

– Blind trans-nasal core biopsy is still best
– Nasal flushing, brushing, or aspiration cytology
rarely diagnostic ( ~50%)
– Biopsy with visualization difficult (~70%)
– Surgical biopsy at times necessary

32
Q

treatment for nasal tumors

A

surgery, chemo, or CURATIVE radiation **

33
Q

chemo protocol for nasal tumors

A

–LSA - standard chemotherapy is indicated
–Carcinomas- Cisplatin/Carboplatin will ameliorate signs but may not prolong survival
–Piroxicam or other NSAID
–Carboplatin and Piroxicam (or other NSAID)
–Tyrosine Kinase inhibitors

34
Q

survival with surgery for nasal tumors

A

–Survival 3-7 mths (same as with no therapy)

–Debulking can be helpful for sarcomas

35
Q

survival time for nasal tumors with curative radiation

A

–Survival 8-23 months

•Chondrosarcoma> Adenocarcinoma> Squamous cell carcinoma> Undifferentiated Carcinomas

36
Q

signalment of dogs with thyroid tumors

A

•Presentation:
–Typically older dogs (9-11 years), boxer, golden retrievers, beagles at increased risk
•Incidence is low (1.2-3.8 % of all canine tumors) but seems common in Pacific Northwest
–Cause unknown
•Radiation
•Hypothyroidism (tumors retain TSH receptors)
•Breed- Huskies

37
Q

biologic behavior of thyroid tumors

A

–30-50% are benign but we may not be detecting these
–Detectable tumors are malignant tumors
–Metastasis at time of diagnosis is less than 40%.
•Risk of metastasis is higher in dogs with tumor > 5cm in diameter or with bilateral tumors
•Wide variety of sites- usually retropharyngeal LN, cranial cervical, mandibular nodes, lungs
–Most canine thyroid carcinomas are non-functional (60% euthyroid, 30 % hypothyroid)

38
Q

Diagnosis of thyroid tumors

A

•Diagnosis/Staging
–Fine needle aspirate
–Imaging- important- they may be better than you think
–Histopathology important, also surgical impression
•Invasiveness
•Vascular invasion
•Pleomorphisim

39
Q

staging thyroid tumors

A

–Thoracic radiographs (or CT)

–Image the tumor

40
Q

treatment of thyroid tumors

A

Surgery
–External beam radiation therapy
•Palliative treatment- overall median survival 22 months
–Radioactive Iodine 131I
•Doxorubicin or Cisplatin, Carboplatin, Metronomic therapy
–Tyrosine kinse inhibitors do seem to work
•Toceranib, Masitinib

41
Q

Feline cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma signalment

A

–White cat disease, but also depends on geographic location
–Tumors appear on sparsely haired, poorly pigmented skin
–Median age 9-12 years

42
Q

biologic behavior of feline cutaneous SSC

A

–Tumors typically progress slowly
•small carcinoma in situ lesions  invasive  ulcerative SCC
•Owners have often seen something wrong with the skin for as long as year

43
Q

diagnosis of feline cutaneous SSC

A

–Biopsy
•requires full thickness to evaluate invasiveness
•very small skin biopsy punches work well
–Scraping is rarely diagnostic

44
Q

treatment of feline SSC

A

surgical removal, radiation,

45
Q

non traditional treatment of feline ssc

A

–Cryotherapy
•Should not be used for any tumor greater then 0.5 cm diameter
–Electrochemotherapy
•Response good but may require repeated treatments
–Photodynamic therapy
•Tumors less than 1.5cm in diameter and minimally invasive had 100% response and 100% tumor control at one year.
–Intralesional chemotherapy
•Cisplatin or Carboplatin,combined with sterile sesame oil injected directly into tumor.
