I don't, but I asked a friend who is dating someone in vet school to see if I can get an electronic copy. In the mean time, if someone speaks spanish, they should try goinmg to this site http://www.al-dia.cl/sistema/tablas/...x-vf.asp?id=25 (or http://tinyurl.com/iifs )and then go to Clinical Techniques in Small Animal Practice. Scroll down to pages 103-106 and then click on the Obtener link. It looks like you can register for free and pay a small amount to get access to the journal and get a copy of the article. I *think*. I know my alma mater doesn't carry it. Also in the mean time, you might browse through the following google search: http://www.google.ca/search?num=50&h...-8&newwindow=1 &safe=off&q=principles+treatment+mammary+gland+tum ors+chemotherapy&btnG=G oogle+Search&meta= or http://tinyurl.com/iig2 It might prove to be useful. It looks like it is mostly reports on types of treatment, but I don't know. Here is a search page on Dog mammary tumor http://www.google.ca/search?num=50&h...-8&newwindow=1 &safe=off&q=dog+mammary++tumor&btnG=Google+Search& meta= or http://tinyurl.com/iigg Good luck and my thoughts go out to you. -- ******************************************* Marcel Beaudoin & Moogli ******************************************* 'If people could put rainbows in zoos, they'd do it.' -- Hobbes ******************************************* |

... Our much beloved 12 year old German Shepherd, Josey, had a mammary tumor removed a week ago. The vet said that he got "clean margins" around the surgical area and that her lymph nodes do not appear to be enlarged. I want Josey to have a wonderful life, and not be wracked by side effects of Chemo. If she has limited time left here on earth with us, I want her to enjoy it. Nutrition and Cancer: http://www.vin.com/proceedings/Proce...02&PID=pr02638 Prognostic Factors for Canine & Feline Mammary Cancer: http://www.vin.com/VINDBPub/SearchPB...00/PR00181.htm This report indicates adjuvant chemo not advised for your situation as it apparently has no value. If the margins were really clean, then your pup is in the best possible shape for this situation. You'll need to know the histologic stage and type of the tumor. There might be more articles at this site in the Oral Presentation sections: http://www.wsava.org/ Gulf Coast VEterinary Specialists has a pretty well known oncology group. I checked and did not find any specific chemotherapeutic protocol for mammary cancer. Did your vets actually suggest chemo? http://www.gcvs.com/oncology/pwc/index.htm Also check here - you can order any paper for $3.95: www.iknowledgenow.com You might do a search on CLA - conjugated linoleic acid or check this website for links under Cancer: www.bowchow.com Best of luck to your and your oldster buglady take out the dog before replying |

My vet is going to talk to me about chemotherapy today. What did your vet say, Lea? Did he/she give you a referral to an oncologist? You might be able to get some realistic answers there. Frankly, my concern would be that the DM would progress faster than the development of another mammary tumor or second site, making chemo somewhat pointless. It's certainly true that dogs respond differently to chemo than humans do, but the timing you might expect from Josey's other conditions would be a factor. An oncologist might also be able to give you data about the impact of chemo on adrenal glands, given our breed's sensitivity in that area and her pre-Cushings state. I know you'll make the right decision for Josey, whatever that decision is. An aside - if you can get a copy of this month's GSD Review, there's a 5 page spread on our rescue. Nice article. Yours in GSD Rescue, Lynn K. |
