Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...
Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Stratified Epithelium01:29

Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Stratified Epithelium

Stratified epithelium consists of several stacked layers of cells. They provide the durability to withstand constant physical and chemical attacks. Stratified epithelium is named after the shape of the most apical layer of cells. Stratified squamous epithelium is the most common type found in the human body. In this tissue, the apical cells are squamous, whereas the basal layer contains either columnar or cuboidal cells. The basal cells divide to form new daughter cells, which gradually become...
Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer01:03

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell02:21

Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell

Cancer arises from mutations in the critical genes that allow healthy cells to escape cell cycle regulation and acquire the ability to proliferate indefinitely. Though originating from a single mutation event in one of the originator cells, cancer progresses when the mutant cell lines continue to gain more and more mutations, and finally, become malignant. For example, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) develops initially as a non-lethal increase in white blood cells, which progressively...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Oncology
  • Comparative Pathology

Background:

  • Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a frequent malignancy observed in both dogs and cats.
  • This cancer can develop in various anatomical sites, presenting diverse gross appearances.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and treatment strategies for canine and feline squamous cell carcinoma.
  • To emphasize the importance of early intervention in managing SCC.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis relies on microscopic examination (cytology or histology) due to variable gross presentation.
  • Surgical excision is considered the primary treatment modality when feasible.

Main Results:

  • Definitive diagnosis requires histopathological evaluation.
  • Small, early-stage tumors demonstrate the highest amenability to treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes in pets with SCC.
  • Surgical intervention offers the best chance for a positive prognosis.
