To determine clinical signs, diagnostic findings, outcome, and prognostic factors in dogs treated surgically for massive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) compare survival times of conservatively dogs.Retrospective study.48 dogs.Medical records were examined surgical postoperative outcome. Dogs allocated into surgery nonsurgery groups depending on whether curative-intent liver lobectomy was performed. Data from the nonsurgical analyzed to identify rates tumor control time.42 surgically, 6...
To determine prognostic factors for and compare outcome among dogs with oral malignant melanoma following excision or without various systemic adjuvant therapies.Retrospective case series.151 naturally occurring melanomas treated by therapies from 2001 to 2012.Case accrual was solicited Veterinary Society of Surgical Oncology members via an email list service. Information collected records included signalment, tumor staging, characteristics, type surgical excision, histologic diagnosis,...
To report outcomes after cellophane banding of single congenital portosystemic shunts in dogs and cats.Retrospective study sequential cases.One hundred six five cats.Medical records were reviewed for breed, sex, age at surgery, shunt anatomy, results pre- postoperative biochemical analysis, development postligation neurologic dysfunction, portal hypertension or other serious complications, the owners' perception their animal's response to surgery.Ninety-five all 5 cats had extrahepatic...
Background:Primary renal tumors are diagnosed uncommonly in dogs. Hypothesis:Signs and survival will differ among different categories of primary tumors. Animals:Data were collected from the medical records 82 dogs with by examination tissue obtained ultrasound‐guided biopsy, needle aspiration, surgery, or at postmortem examination. Methods:This was a multi‐institutional, retrospective study. Results:Forty‐nine had carcinomas, 28 sarcomas, 5 nephroblastomas. The geriatric (mean 8.1 years;...
To compare surgical and oncologic outcome in dogs with osteosarcoma (OSA) of the distal aspect radius treated limb-sparing surgery, using either a cortical allograft or endoprosthesis, postoperative chemotherapy; to evaluate predictive factors for outcome.Prospective cohort study.Dogs (n = 20) spontaneous, non-metastatic OSA radius.Dogs were prospectively randomized surgery 10) endoprosthesis (10) full-course adjuvant chemotherapy single dual agent protocols cisplatin, carboplatin, and/or...
To determine outcomes and prognostic factors for those in dogs with appendicular osteosarcoma treated curative-intent surgery adjuvant carboplatin.Retrospective case series.65 client-owned no evidence of gross metastatic disease at the time diagnosis.Medical records that underwent limb amputation or distal ulnectomy carboplatin treatment were reviewed. Adverse effects chemotherapy findings regarding preoperative biopsy specimens postoperative diagnostic imaging recorded. Signalment, clinical...
To describe the complications and outcome after total prostatectomy in dogs with histologically confirmed prostatic carcinoma.Multi-institutional retrospective case series.25 client-owned dogs.Medical records of undergoing were reviewed from 2004 to 2016. Data retrieved included signalment, presenting signs, preoperative clinical findings, laboratory data, diagnostic imaging, surgical technique, histologic diagnosis, postoperative complications, occurrence metastasis, survival.Twenty-five...

This paper describes in detail an aggressive rostral maxillectomy procedure one cat and six dogs, the postoperative complications outcomes are reported. The surgeries were performed to attempt complete excision of large extensive maxillary fibrosarcomas (n=4), squamous cell carcinomas (n=2), or poorly differentiated mesenchymal neoplasia (n=1). involved transection maxilla at level premolar (PM)1 PM2 a two between PM3 four dogs. There no intraoperative complications. Complete margins...
To characterize biologic behavior, clinical outcome, and effect of histologic grade on prognosis for dogs with appendicular chondrosarcoma treated by amputation alone.Case series.Dogs (n=25) chondrosarcoma.Medical records were searched to identify limb alone. Information recorded included signalment, anatomic location, radiographic appearance, development metastasis. Histopathologic diagnosis was confirmed graded (1, 2, or 3). Survival curves generated the Kaplan-Meier method association...
