Tumors of the skin and soft tissues

Description: The majority of the body surface is covered by the skin. Many internal disorders are reflected in the condition of the skin. One of the major functions of the skin is protection of the other organ systems from a variety of environmental insults. In this role, the skin itself is exposed to factors that can ultimately cause chronic diseases and cancer. Since it is relatively easy to recognize skin abnormalities, most skin cancers are brought to professional attention sooner than other types of ca… more

Metastasis

Description: Distant metastasis of primary neoplasms is the main factor that limits the success of antineoplastic therapy. It can be regarded as an early or late event in the neoplastic process, and varies considerably with tumor type. The metastatic potential of a given tumor greatly influences prognosis. Tumor metastasis is not a single neoplastic event, rather, it involves several major steps: invasion of cells from the primary tumor into tissue, and penetration of blood and lymph vessels; release of tum… more

The significant human-animal bond: Pets with cancer

Description: Veterinarians have responsibilities to both the animal and its owner. In the past several years there has been an increased awareness and concern about human-animal bonds. As a result, we have begun to appreciate the nature, strength, and significance of bonds that develop between humans and companion animals. It is typical for a pet to be perceived as and treated as a member of the family and as a result, animals provide special and beneficial relationships for many years. It is partly because… more

Lymphocyte blastogenesis in the diagnosis of tuberculosis in cattle

Description: Considerable progress has been made towards the eradication of tuberculosis in cattle in the United States. No reliable blood test has been developed for detecting infected animals. An in vitro test for tuberculosis must have a high level of sensitivity with adequate specificity to differentiate infections due to Mycobacterium bovis and those caused by other mycobacteria. Moreover, it would be desirable that the test system be simple ad readily automated. The accuracy of lymphocyte immunostimul… more

Paraneoplastic syndromes

Description: Paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS) comprise a diverse group of disorders that are associated with cancer but unrelated to the size, location, metastases, or physiologic activities of the mature tissue of origin. They are remote effects of tumors that may appear as signs, symptoms, or syndromes which can mimic other disease conditions encountered in veterinary medicine. Recognition of PNS is valuable for several reasons: the observed abnormalities may represent tumor cell markers and facilitate earl… more
