Leukemia + Canine LSA (mostly chemo) Flashcards
(117 cards)
What prognostic factors were identified for dogs with acute leukemias? (Novacco VCO 2015)
Normal neutrophil count prolonged survival (compared to penic or philic dogs) Anemia (worse if present 9d vs 60d) Including cytarabine improved survival
What staining can help to differentiated AML from LSA or LSA? (Stokol Vet Clin Path 2015)
ALP - activity in 100%, strong in 64% vs. no ALP in LSA and only weak ALP in 21% of ALL
What two markers may help to differentiate CLL from ALL (Vet Immuno and Immuno 2014 and 2013)
CD44 hyaluronan receptor and higher c-kit expression (levels of mRNA for both) in ALL vs. CLL
In humans ____-cell CLL is most common; in dogs ____-cell CLL is most common
Humans B-cell Dogs T-cell (70-75%)
What were the phenotyptes for cats with ALL (Tomiyasu JSAP 2018
B cell (n=4), T cell (n=1) CD21+CD8+ (n=1)
What was the MST for cats with ALL treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy (Tomiyasu JSAP 2018)
PR in 2, MST 55 only 4/6 cats in study were treated
What were the most common clinical signs in dogs with AML (Davis VCO 2018)
Inappetence (66%), lethargy (57%), peripheral lymphadenopathy (74%) tachypnea (62%)
What were the hematologic findings in dogs with AML? (Davis VCO 2018)
circulating blasts (85%, median count 35.7k), anemia (median 34%), thrombocytopenia (median 57k)
What was the MST for dogs with AML? What improved survival? (Davis VCO 2018)
MST 19d. Chemo+pred improved survival: chemo MST 58d. vs. pred alone 25d vs. symptomatic care alone 1d
What were the characteristics of cats with Bcell lymphocytosis? (Rout JVIM 2019)
Younger cats Polyclonal + lower counts Long survival (same as cats with heterogenous lymphocytosis)

27.5d
What were the most common clinical signs for cats with CLL? (Campbell VCO 2012)
Weight loss
What was the ORR and OST for cats treated with chemo for CLL? (Campbell VCO 2012)
most treated with pred/chlorambucil, some had CHOP ORR 88% OST 14.4mo (median remission duration = 15.7mo)
What breeds of dogs were more likely to have B cell CLL? (Bromberek JVIM 2016)
Small breed dogs had increased odds English Bulldogs
What is the unique presentation for English Bulldogs with CLL? (Bromberek JVIM 2016)
B cell, lower expression of MHCII and CD25 Younger at presentation - median = 6yr
