Abstract

The aim of this review is to examine an overview diagnostic and treatment methods applied in cases of transmissible venereal tumors (TVT) in female dogs. TVT is a highly transmissible neoplasm affecting dogs of all ages, breeds, and genders, primarily involving the genital areas and organs such as the eyes, nose, and mouth. Various clinical manifestations are observed depending on its localization. In cases involving the genital system, cauliflower-like neoplastic masses, bloody vulvar discharge, and consequent anemia may occur. All these clinical findings, along with histopathological or cytological examinations of tissue samples obtained through methods such as excisional biopsy or fine needle aspiration biopsy, can lead to a definitive diagnosis. Once a definitive diagnosis is made, various treatment options are available, including surgical excision of tumor tissue, chemotherapy using agents such as vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and lomustine, radiotherapy with specific dose ranges, and immunotherapy using agents like Bacillus Calmette-Guérin and staphylococcal protein A. In conclusion, with the correct diagnosis, every patient can be individually evaluated and provided with the most appropriate treatment option to ensure recovery.

Abstract

Bu derlemenin amacı dişi köpeklerde görülen transmissible veneral tümör olgularında uygulanan güncel tanı ve tedavi yöntemlerini incelemektir. Transmissible veneral tümör dişi köpekler başta olmak üzere köpeklerin tüm yaş, ırk ve cinsiyet gruplarında; özellikle iç-dış genital bölge ve göz, burun, ağız gibi organları etkileyen çok bulaşıcı bir neoplazidir. Lokalizasyonuna göre çok farklı klinik bulgulara rastlanmaktadır. Genital sistemi tutan olgularda karnabahar benzeri neoplazik kitle, kanlı bir vulvar akıntı ve buna bağlı olarak anemi tablosu görülmektedir. Tüm bu klinik bulgular, eksizyonel biyopsi, ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi gibi yöntemlerle alınan doku örneklerinin histoplatolojik veya sitolojik muayeneleri ile değerlendirilerek kesin teşhise gidilebilmektedir. Kesin teşhisi yapılan olgularda tümöral dokunun alındığı cerrahi; vinkristin, doksorubisin, siklofosfamid, metotreksat ve lomustin gibi ajanların uygulandığı kemoterapi; belirli doz aralığında radyasyon uygulanan radyoterapi ve Bacillus Calmette-Guérin, staflilokok protein A etkenlerinin kullanıldığı immünoterapi gibi birçok farklı tedavi seçeneği bulunmaktadır. Sonuç olarak doğru teşhisi koyulan her hastanın, bireysel olarak değerlendirilerek seçilen en uygun tedavi seçeneği ile iyileşmesi sağlanabilmektedir.
