Q

An owner brings in her Scottish Terrier and is wondering what she can do to prevent cancer. Knowing the most common tumor in this breed, what do you recommend?

A
  • Feed veggies (Broccoli 🥦 ) 3x/week
    -CADET BRAF Mutation Detection Assay screening tool for at risk breeds even in absence of CS!!

(Scottish Terriers are a high risk breed for getting TCC of the bladder)

Q

What are the outcomes and MST of TCC in cats and dogs, dependent on treatment plan?

A
  • NSAIDs alone = 6m MST
  • Mitoxantrone + NSAIDs = 8m MST
  • Radiation + Mitoxantrone + NSAIDs = 9m
  • Laser ablation w Mitoxantrone = 8m
  • If non trigonal, can have MST ~2yrs w sx + chemo

(all around the same MSTs)

Q

True or False: Complete or partial cystectomy is the gold standard treatment option for patients with TCC located at the trigone

A

FALSEEE

Trigonal TCC has a 2 month MST w surgery - do palliative care instead (NSAIDS!!)

Q

What % of dog mammary gland tumors are malignant vs cats?

A

Dogs: 50/50

Cats: 90% malignant

17
Q

Do dogs or cats get more aggressive mammary gland tumors?

A

Cats!!! 95% malignant

(Dogs are 50/50)

18
Q

Most common mammary tumor in cats?

A

Mammary gland adenocarcinoma

19
Q

What is inflammatory carcinoma seen with?

A

Unique and AGGRESSIVE variant of mammary gland adenocarcinoma in DOGS, presents diffusely swollen, necrotic mammary chains

MST is 2 weeks 😢 discuss euthanasia 😢

20
Q

Risk factors associated with mammary gland tumors in cats?

A

Hormonal exposure / Not spaying before < 1 yr of age

OVH before 6 months: 91% risk reduction
OVH before 1 yr: 86% risk reduction
OVH before 2 yrs: 11% risk reduction

21
Q

Risk factors associated with mammary gland tumors in dogs?

A

Hormonal exposure / Not spaying

OVH before 1st estrus: 0.5% risk
OVH before 2nd estrus: 8% risk
OVH before 3rd estrus: 26% risk reduction

22
Q

What is the most important prognostic factor when deciding your treatment plan for a mammary gland mass?

A

SIZE is most IMPT

< 0.5 cm and moveable = simple lumpectomy

> 1cm requires mastectomy

23
Q

Surgical treatment options mammary gland tumors in dogs?

A
  • Simple lumpectomy if < 0.5 cm and moveable
  • Mastectomy if > 1cm, fixed, or moveable
  • Regional or bilateral mastectomy if multiple

OVH should always be done concurrently when removing mammary gland tumors

24
Q

Surgical treatment options mammary gland tumors in cats?

A
  • Bilateral radical mastectomy (Remove ALL mammary glands!) w/ excision of axillary and inguinal LNs
  • Requires more aggressive surgical excision than dogs bc more aggressive

OVH should always be done concurrently when removing mammary gland tumors

25
Q

What adjunctive chemotherapy can be used in cats following surgical removal of a mammary gland tumor?

A

Doxorubicin coupled w/ NSAID or cyclophosphamide
