41
Q

See these broad recommendation , just FYI

A
  • Aggressive surgical management does improve the survival prospects for dogs with oral malignancies. One-year survival rates of 70% to 90% have been reported commonly, and most reported local recurrence rates are well below 50%.
  • The tumor type strongly influences survival. Tumors with a high metastatic potential, such as malignant melanoma and osteosarcoma, are generally associated with poorer survival than tumors with lower metastatic potential, such as fibrosarcoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
  • The tumor location strongly influences local recurrence rates. Tumors that are located in the caudal aspect of the oral cavity are generally associated with a poorer prognosis than tumors located more rostrally. In addition to being inherently more difficult to resect than tumors in the rostral aspect of the mouth, caudally located tumors are less likely to be noticed at an early stage by owners and veterinarians and are typically larger at the time of surgical resection.
  • As with most malignancies, histologically incomplete excision of oral tumors is a negative prognostic indicator, largely because of its association with increased local recurrence rates. In two large reports of dogs undergoing mandibulectomy or maxillectomy, local recurrence rates were 15% to 22% for tumors with complete histologic margins and 62% to 65% for tumors with incomplete margins.
  • Overall, local recurrence rates and survival data are best for squamous cell carcinoma and acanthomatous ameloblastoma. Squamous cell carcinoma, particularly in rostral locations, has a reasonable likelihood of being cured by aggressive surgery alone, and acanthomatous ameloblastomas are almost invariably cured with appropriate surgery. Fibrosarcomas are associated with comparatively high local recurrence rates, partly because of their frequent location in the central or caudal maxilla. Although malignant melanoma is highly metastatic, reported median survival times approach 1 year, suggesting that metastatic disease often progresses relatively slowly. Some evidence suggests that the prognosis for patients with mandibular osteosarcoma may be superior to that for appendicular osteosarcoma; however, it is unclear whether this difference is attributable to a lower prevalence of micrometastases at the time of presentation or to a slower progression of metastatic disease.
