Oral tumors/OSCC Flashcards
What is the increased risk for OSCC in cats wearing flea collars? What is another risk factor?
over 3.5x
Another risk factor = canned food/tuna
T/F: Gemcitabine is the preferred radiosensitizer in cats?
False - not recommended due to significant hematologic and local tissue toxicity
What is the MST for OMM without treatment?
65d (2.2 months)
What is the MST for lip melanoma after surgery? Tongue melanoma?
Lip - 580d (19 months)
Tongue - >551d (18 months)
Which sites of canine OSCC are associated with high metastatic potential?
tonsils
base of tongue
What is the prognosis for canine OSCC with dRT alone?
15-16 months
What is the RR of canine OSCC to piroxicam alone? (Schmidt 2001 - good paper to know)
17%
1/17 CR, 2/17 PR; PFS of responders 180d (6 months)
What % of dogs with OSCC treated with piroxicam and carboplatin had a CR?
57%
T3 tumors - only 7 dogs
T/F: Canine oral fibrosarcomas are highly responsive to RT?
False
What is the MST for mandibular OSA treated with surgery alone?
14-18 months
What is the 3 year PFS for acanthomatous ameloblastoma with RT alone? T1/2 vs. T3
T1/2: 86%
T3: 30%
What is the 1 year survival rate for canine tonsillar SCC?
10%
Which breeds are predisposed to lingual HSA and FSA?
Border Collie, Golden Retriever
What is the most common tumor of the canine tongue?
SCC
What is the MST for canine oral fibrosarcomas for RT alone vs. RT + Sx?
RT - 7 months (tumor size matters - T1 45 mo, T2 31 mo, T3 7 mo)
RT + Sx: MST 18-26 mo; recurrence 32%
What is the local recurrence rate for a grade III MLTOB (MLO)?
78%
grade I 30%, grade II 47%
What is the metastatic rate of a grade I MLTOB (MLO)?
30%
grade II 60%, grade III 78%
Where does an eosinophilic granuloma develop in a dog vs. cat?
Dog - tongue
Cat - lip
What is the MST for salivary gland carcinomas treated with sx +/- RT for dogs and cats?
Dogs - 550d (18 months)
Cats - 516d (17 months)
What was the recurrence rate for oral fibrosarcomas in a recent study? (Sarowitz 2017)
54.2%
What was the ORR and control time (PFS) for feline OSCC treated with PDT using liposomal phosphorylated meta-tetra (hydroxylphenyl) chlorine?
ORR 84% (61% CR)
PFS 35 months
Not great for invasive, advanced lesions
What is % metastasis for canine oral fibrosarcoma? (Martano 2018 - review article)
10-14%
What were the conclusions regarding efficacy and bioavailability of buccal buprenorphine? (Stathopoulou J Feline Med Surg 2018)
- Pain scores improved
- Lower bioavailability and shorter half-life in cats with stomatitis compared to previous studies
- Concluded that it helped with pain and there was low inter-individual variability in plasma concentration, good option for oral pain
What was the MST for dogs with SCC that had incomplete excision and underwent hypofx RT in a recent study? Was post-operative RT useful for fibrosarcomas? (Riggs 2018)
SCC - 2051d (5.6 years)
Fibrosarcoma - post-op RT did not appear to have protective value (retrospective study, RT may have been worse cases)
