MST for OSA dog with LN mets? (Hillers 2005)

A

59d

109
Q

Five factors for OSA grading? (Kirpensteijn 2002)

A

pleomorphism, mitoses (<10, 10-20, >21), tumor matrix, tumor cells, necrosis

110
Q

What dog was over-represented in Amsellem’s small breed OSA study?

A

Miniature schnauzer

111
Q

What information did pretreatment, platelet-corrected VEGF provide for OSA? (Thamm 2008)

A

serum VEGF levels correlated significantly with survival

  • VEGF above median (upper 50%) = DFI 145 days
  • VEGF below median (lower 50%) = DFI 356 days
112
Q

Dogs with a higher percentage of CD204+ macrophages experienced significantly longer or shorter DFI? (Withers 2019, ePub 2018)

A

Longer

They also noted that there were fewer CD204+ macrophages in proximal humerus OSA

113
Q

_____ decreases CXRC4 expression in canine osteosarcoma by 27.7% in cells and 40% in OSA primary tumor. (Byrum JVIM 2016)

A

zoledronate
CXCR4 - has been explored as a target for metastases in solid tumors (cell migration and homing); zoledronate reduced expression via proteasome degradation and decreased prenylation

114
Q

What was unusual about the metastatic pattern in dogs treated with zoledronate? (Byrum JVIM 2016)

A

Metastases found in unusual locations like LN, nervous, and cutaneous tissues; disproportionate number of cases also had visceral involvement.

Importance: Zoledronate can alter CXCR4 expression and functionality in OS cells, and consequent perturbations in CXCR4 intracellular signaling cascades might influence patterns of metastases.

115
Q

What was the dose limiting structure for SBRT for vertebral OSA? (Swift 2017)

A

spinal cord

most patients died before late effects

116
Q

In paper evaluating cortical allograft vs. endoprosthesis for limb-spare, what improved outcome? (Liptak 2006)

A

Infection - 685d (23 months) vs. 289d (9.6 months)

Infection rate was 55-60%

117
Q

What were the main findings with using PET CT to identify metastatic lesions and treating with SBRT? (Selmic 2017)

A

PET-CT facilitated finding metastases, SBRT improved neurologic signs

118
Q

What was found regarding EGFR and OSA? (Selvarajah 2012)

A

75% of primary tumors and lung mets stained for EGFR

- higher than normal bone and estrapulmonary metastatic sites

119
Q

How does EGFR correlate with prognosis in OSA?

A

Worse prognosis

120
Q

What does erlotinib inhibit? What was the impact on OSA cells? (Mantovani BMC Vet Res 2016)

A

EGFR

activity as a single agent against cells and may enhance radiosensitization

121
Q

What % of OSA cell line and OSA tissue samples showed HER2 overexpression? (Flint 2004)

A

86% - cell lines

40% - tissue samples

122
Q

What was the rate of pathologic fracture in dogs with appendicular primary bone neoplasia treated with medical management only? (Rubin 2015)

A

38%

identified at necropsy

123
Q

Which is FALSE regarding monocyte phenotype and function in canine osteosarcoma?

a. CCR2 and CXCR2 are significantly downregulated in dogs with OSA.
b. PGE2 and TNFa are significantly decreased in dogs with OSA.
c. Peripheral blood monocytes exhibit significantly decreased chemotaxis in dogs with OSA.
d. CD14 expression is high and CD16 expression is low on the monocytes of dogs with OSA that have a relative monocytosis.

A

b. PGE2 and TNFa are significant decreased in dogs with OSA

Tuohy 2016 - PGE2 and TNFa are higher in OSA dogs
Fan 2008 - majority of primary tumor expressed CXCR2 but minority of metastasis express CXCR2
