Frequência de neoplasias em cães diagnosticados por citologia no Hospital Veterinário em São Luis- MA

Abstract

Neoplasms are unwanted neoformation that the body cannot fight. The increasing number of cases is due primarily to the longer service life of the animals, where dogs are quite affected. The Cytology exam is a quick and safe method to diagnose this disease. This study aimed to evaluate the epidemiological aspects of cancer in dogs treated at the Veterinary Hospital of UEMA, from 2008 to 2015. The forms 1089 dogs treated at the Veterinary Hospital during this period were evaluated in order to know the incidence of dogs with cancer, relating to race, age and sex. Of these, only 764 forms were confirmed for neoplasia. Tumors were more incidents TVT (20.17%), adenocarcinoma (19,53%), malignant mixed tumor (18.63%), mast cell tumor (11.31%) and breast carcinoma (6.42%), in which females were hardest hit, with 9.2 years as average age. The most affected breeds were Poodle, Mestizo, Pitbull and Pinsher, and the SRD were more frequent. We conclude that the increased incidence of malignancies be related to the reproductive system of females and males, in addition to the mammary glands, the low incidence of neutered dogs.
