Efectos adversos de la extirpación quirúrgica de glándulas mamarias en caninos y felinos con carcinoma inflamatorio

Abstract

In female mammals, pathologies can be presented by their same gender, one of them is the mammary tumor, specifically the mammary carcinoma. These neoplasms have existed for decades and have been differentiated from each other by their cytological analysis, their recommended treatment was surgical removal without knowing the risks of this same removal of the masses. As studies in veterinary oncology advance, a very malignant variant known as inflammatory carcinoma has been discovered, which represents high mortality rates despite being a very rare tumor. From the taking of samples for laboratory analysis, there is great complexity for the approach and manipulation of this neoplasm, since in the face of aggressive behavior only several adverse effects are detected that compromise the patient and their quality of life, the most important being their speed to develop metastases in internal organs, validating its mortality rates of 10% in cases of breast tumors. In daily practice, mastectomy of breast masses is performed as a decisive measure, in the case of inflammatory breast carcinoma, this measure only decreases the survival of patients, as well as other factors of the tumor. Therefore, it is important to understand why surgery should not be resorted to in this pathology, although this prevention does not reduce the risk of early death of the patient.
