Evaluation of Erythrocytes Indices, Platelet Indices and Complete Blood Count in Feline Mammary Carcinomas

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in the platelet (PLT) indices, erythrocytes indices and complete blood count (CBC) parameters between the cats with mammary tumor and healthy queens. Also, the differences in above mentioned parameters are going to be investigated in cats with mammary tumors with regard to clinicopathological characteristics of the primary tumor. A total of 44 queens were included in the study. The study groups consisted of cats with mammary tumors (Group MT, n=22) and healthy cats presented for neutering (Group H, n=22). The ages of the cats were ranged between 5-15 years. The mean ages of the cats in Group MT was 10.77±0.80 and in Group H was 6.75±1.21 years. All data on CBC, thoracic radiography, clinical examination findings and histopathology were obtained from the the patient archive in the animal hospital automation system. While the highest red blood cell (RBC) and hemoglobulin (HGB) levels were observed in Group H, Group MT had the highest white blood cell (WBC), mean platelet volume (MPV) and plateletcrit (PCT) levels. The mean corpuscular volume (MCV) level in T1 was significantly lower than in T2-T3. The MCV level in G1-G2 tended to be higher compared to G3.In Group MT, CBC parameters were not significantly different related to the presence of metastasis, presence of ulceration and inflammation on the tumor. It was concluded that evaluation of CBC and PLT indices in cats with mammary tumors would be useful in understanding the hematological effects of the disease and tumor characteristics (tumor size and histological grade).
