PRACTICAL RELEVANCE
Many cats develop cancer and may or may not present with an obvious mass lesion. As our feline patients are living longer and their owners are increasingly seeking veterinary care, the apparent incidence and prevalence of cancer is increasing.
CLINICAL CHALLENGES
Neoplasia is a differential for many clinical presentations in cats. Often tumours are relatively advanced at the point of presentation, and this can make management difficult. In addition, many cats find clinic visits stressful and this can influence owners' decisions about treatment.
AUDIENCE
This review provides an overview of the approach to the feline cancer patient, and is aimed at all veterinary practitioners that see cats. It is intended as a starting point for more detailed discussions in accompanying articles in this special issue on feline oncology.
EVIDENCE BASE
There is limited data on most feline tumours compared with tumours in canine or human patients, so a robust evidence base is often lacking.
实际意义
许多猫会患癌症，可能会或可能不会出现明显的肿块病变。随着我们的猫科动物患者寿命延长，其主人越来越多地寻求兽医护理，癌症的表观发病率和患病率正在上升。
临床挑战
肿瘤形成是猫许多临床表现的鉴别诊断之一。通常肿瘤在就诊时相对较晚期，这可能使管理变得困难。此外，许多猫觉得去诊所看病有压力，这会影响主人关于治疗的决定。
受众
本综述概述了猫癌症患者的治疗方法，面向所有诊治猫的兽医从业者。它旨在作为本期关于猫肿瘤学的配套文章中更详细讨论的起点。
证据基础
与犬类或人类患者的肿瘤相比，大多数猫肿瘤的数据有限，因此往往缺乏有力的证据基础。
