Mouse Models of Cancer Study02:43

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

6.6K
Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

9.0K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

6.5K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Oncology
  • Exotic Companion Mammal Health

Background:

  • Neoplastic diseases are significant health concerns in ferrets and rodents.
  • Understanding common tumor types and their presentations is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review neoplastic diseases in ferrets and rodents.
  • To highlight common tumor types, clinical signs, diagnostics, and treatment options.
  • To underscore progress in veterinary oncology for exotic companion mammals.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of neoplastic diseases in ferrets and rodents.
  • Emphasis on diagnostic modalities including imaging, cytology, and histopathology.
  • Discussion of treatment strategies, primarily surgery, with increasing use of chemotherapy and radiation.

Main Results:

  • Common tumor types, clinical signs, and diagnostic approaches are detailed.
  • Surgery remains the primary treatment modality.
  • Current research focuses on identifying new neoplasms, with less emphasis on novel therapeutic development.

Conclusions:

  • Veterinary exotic companion mammal oncology is progressing rapidly.
  • Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment outcomes are improving.
  • Future advancements in diagnostics and therapeutics are anticipated for ferrets and rodents.
