This article reviews the incidence, etiology, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of mammary tumors in cats.
Approximately 80% of feline mammary masses are malignant, with adenocarcinoma being the most common tumor type. Early diagnosis is, therefore, essential to improve the prognosis and quality of life of affected cats.
Surgery is the most widely used treatment for malignant tumors. However, as mammary tumors are often advanced and metastasis has already occurred by the time of diagnosis, surgery routinely does not provide a cure. Ovariohysterectomy or hormonal therapy are the treatments of choice for fibroadenomatous hyperplasia (the most common benign mass) and usually lead to a successful outcome.
本文综述了猫乳腺肿瘤的发病率、病因、诊断、治疗及预后。
约80%的猫乳腺肿块为恶性,腺癌是最常见的肿瘤类型。因此,早期诊断对于改善患猫的预后和生活质量至关重要。
手术是治疗恶性肿瘤最广泛使用的方法。然而,由于乳腺肿瘤通常已处于晚期,在诊断时已经发生转移,手术通常无法治愈。卵巢子宫切除术或激素治疗是纤维腺瘤样增生(最常见的良性肿块)的首选治疗方法,通常会取得成功的结果。
