Lymph node status of felines affected by mammary gland neoplasms: a look beyond the presence or absence of metastasis
The purpose of the present study was to assess the influence of gross and microscopic lymph nodes characteristics on overall survival time (OS) and to identify risk factors for lymph nodes metastasis in feline mammary gland tumors. A retrospective study was performed on a total of 198 lymph nodes from 158 female cats. Parameters such as the presence of metastasis, lymph node size in gross evaluation (gross maximum diameter), number of lymph nodes involved, number of metastatic foci, and metastatic focus size (microscopic maximum diameter) were evaluated. Additionally, the grade of extracapsular extension, tumor implant, tumor size, histological type, and histological grade were analyzed. Binary logistic regression was used to determine associations between lymph node diameter and tumor characteristics and lymph node metastasis. Follow-up time was measured so that prognostic factors could be associated with OS. Tumors classified as T2 (2–3 cm) and T3 (> 3 cm) had 2.56 and 2.15 times higher odds of presenting lymph node metastasis, respectively, while cribriform carcinoma had 2.47 times higher odds compared to tubulopapillary tumors. In addition, lymph nodes ≥1.5 cm had a risk of developing metastasis 2.5 times greater than lymph nodes <1.5 cm. Lymph node metastasis, gross maximum diameter (≥ 1.5 cm), macrometastasis, ≥ 2 involved lymph nodes, and grade III tumors were associated with shorter OS time (P < 0.05). Data suggest that in cats with mammary gland neoplasms, a complete pathological examination of lymph nodes and primary tumors is necessary for accurate prognostication and for guiding treatment strategies.
期刊介绍:
Research in Veterinary Science is an International multi-disciplinary journal publishing original articles, reviews and short communications of a high scientific and ethical standard in all aspects of veterinary and biomedical research.
The primary aim of the journal is to inform veterinary and biomedical scientists of significant advances in veterinary and related research through prompt publication and dissemination. Secondly, the journal aims to provide a general multi-disciplinary forum for discussion and debate of news and issues concerning veterinary science. Thirdly, to promote the dissemination of knowledge to a broader range of professions, globally.
High quality papers on all species of animals are considered, particularly those considered to be of high scientific importance and originality, and with interdisciplinary interest. The journal encourages papers providing results that have clear implications for understanding disease pathogenesis and for the development of control measures or treatments, as well as those dealing with a comparative biomedical approach, which represents a substantial improvement to animal and human health.
Studies without a robust scientific hypothesis or that are preliminary, or of weak originality, as well as negative results, are not appropriate for the journal. Furthermore, observational approaches, case studies or field reports lacking an advancement in general knowledge do not fall within the scope of the journal.
