Q

Which of the following is false about malignant oral melanomas?

A. the non-pigmented variant is amelanotic melanoma and you can do special stains for Melan A

B. these tumors are malignant, but don’t generally result in mets

C. surgery results in local control

D. thorough staging is required

A

B- these tumors are malignant but they can form systemic mets in about 80% of animals, biggest point of treatment failure

Q

True/false- oral fibrosarcomas are histologically low grade, therefore we don’t really need to worry about them?

A

Falsomundo- they are histologically low grade but they can be biologically high grade

-if biopsy comes back as fibroma don’t believe it

this type of tumor generally effects younger (7-8 yr) goldens and labs, and has relatively low met rate, BUT recurrent disease after surgery tends to be the biggest point of treatment failure

Q

Where do oral SCC prefer to live in cats?

A

-sublingual site

these are locally invasive

risk factors= flea collar usage, smoke exposure, excessive canned food (esp tuna)

-increased PTHrp which can lead to bone resorption and hypercalcemia

Q

True/False- the complication rate is high for limb salvage procedures, therefore you really shouldn’t even attempt them

A
  • true and falseish
  • the complication rate IS high >50%, however it’s important to use appropriate case selection
  • if the procedure goes well there is anticipated to be good to excellent function of leg in 80% of dogs

-if there is infection, as in 50% of cases this decreases the MST from 685 days to 289 days :(

58
Q

What is the most severe complication of stereotactic radiosurgery?

A
  • fracture of radiated bone in 36% of patients

- proximal humerus may be a better location for SRS, lower fracture rate

59
Q

So you remove the limb with OSA, that means you removed the problem! Case closed, happy three legged doggo goes home and lives a long life! FALSE, why is this wrong?

A

With local control only, most die of metastasis within 6 months.

adjunctive chemotherapy with carboplatin or platinum containing protocol is recommended in all cases.

  • if dog has adequate tumor control= normal plasma histamine content
72
Q

Effects of degranulation of MCT on surgery

A
  • delayed wound healing due to proteolytic enzymes and vasoactive amines

79
Q

If the MCT is localized but non-resectable what do you?

A

-chemo to downstage then surgery

80
Q

What do you do if the planned curative excision of the MCT, but it’s unsuccessful?

A

-scar revision is your best bet

81
Q

T/F you have a higher grade variant MCT, surveillance is completely okay?

A
  • false fam

- 23% incompletely excised grade II tumor recurred

82
Q

If you have disseminated disease with a local MCT what is the best treatment?

A

-start with chemo, measure response, once maximum local response determined consider local excision/RT of primary tumor if patient doing well

83
Q

What chemotherapy protocol is indicated in high risk dogs with MCTs>

A

-prednisolone/vinblastine

84
Q

Palladia (TKI)

A
  • has biologic activity in 60% dogs with mutation in c-kit gene
  • renders KIT protein constitutively active
  • can test for c-kit mutation with MCT prognostic panel
85
Q

Patient related MCT prognostic factors

A
  • breed- less aggressive in boxers and brachycephalics
  • systemic signs- usually with higher stage disease
  • location: bad= oral and other mucous membranes, preputial and scrotal, visceral or BM
  • sub cutaneous may do better
86
Q

Tumor related MCT prognostic factors

A
  • size- if greater than 5 cm shorter MST
  • c-kit mutation= worse prognosis
  • proliferation rate
  • microvessel density
  • recurrence
  • histiological grade- well-differentiated usually treated with local control
  • Kiupel high-grade MCT- shorter time to metastasis or new tumor development
87
Q

Do multiple MCT automatically indicate a negative prognosis?

A

-No! studies show outcome is similar to single MCT’s if adequate treatment is initiated for each new mass

88
Q

When to consider mast cell tumor prognostic panel

A
  • marginally or incompletely excised low grade MCT
  • high grade MCT’s or cases of confirmed metastasis when chemotherapy is planned- to confirm likelihood patient will respond to TKI
89
Q

A

C. Rhabdomyosarcomas tend to develop in YOUNGER dogs

122

A
  • grade of STS is predictive of metastasis and local recurrence
  • 1,2,3–> 10%, 20%, 30%

A

-larger >5 cm

125
Q

How to diagnose STS>

A
  • FNA- sarcoma do an incisional biopsy (tru cut or wedge)

- do thoracic rads (met check and/or US/CT/MRI

126
Q

What are the margins for removing a STS?

A
  • wide excision (3 cm radial & 1 fascial plane or two muscle planes deep)
  • radical surgery may be required
  • 1st sx is best chance
127
Q

Prognosis for STS

A
  • negative prognostic factors for local control: large tumor size, incomplete surgical margins, high histological grade
  • recurrence rate= 28%
  • MST about 4 yrs with surgery alone
128
Q

What is it in vaccines that is suspected to be a cause of feline injection site sarcomas?

A

-aluminum adjuvant

129
Q

What type of biopsy should you not do for FISS

A
  • EXCISIONAL- do incisional

- tumors are very infiltrative, may need a CT for surgical margin planning

130
Q

Current recommendation for feline ISS treatment?

A
  • surgical excision with 5 cm radial margins, 2 muscle planes deep
  • have 14% recurrence rate
  • local recurrence- 26-59%
131
Q

A
  • More commonly primary in cats

- more commonly mets in dogs, dogs more often malignant

132
Q

What are the four primary hepatobiliary tumors?

A
  1. hepatocellular
  2. bile duct
  3. neuroendocrine (carcinoid)
  4. mesenchymal
    - LSA most common in cats but not considered primary tumor
133
Q

Massive hepatobiliary tumor

A
  • confined to single lobe, easiest to treat surgically

- hepatocellular carcinomas

134
Q

Nodular hepatobiliary tumor

A

-multifocal, one or several lobes

135
Q

diffuse hepatobiliary tumor

A
  • multifocal or coalescing nodules involving all liver lobes or diffuse effacement of parenchyma
  • neuroendocrine is most common
136
Q
