| dc.description.abstract | In this study, a total of 56 canine tumors were recorded and prevalence of tumors based on sex, age and site were documented. Females (55.36%) were more susceptible than male dogs (44.64%). Highest prevalence of tumors (35.71%) was recorded in the age group of six to nine years and lowest (5.36%) in the age group of less than three years. Most common site of tumor was genitalia. The TVT has highest prevalence (37.50%) followed by squamous cell carcinoma (12.50%) and then adenocarcimoma (10.79%). One case of oral TVT as a primary tumor was also detected. Neoplastic conditions of dogs like lymphoma, mast cell tumor (MCT) and chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) were diagnosis using various molecular tools. Polymerase chain reaction for antigen receptor rearrangement (PARR) assay for lymphoma, PCR for detection of mutation at juxtamembrane domain of c-kit gene in mast cell tumors and a two-step nested PCR for detection of bcr-abl fusion gene in CML were used. Out of 123 blood samples, two blood samples were found positive for T cell lymphoma using PARR assay. Out of 21 tissue samples, one tumor tissue sample was found positive for MCT. Out of 10 blood samples, three blood samples were found positive for CML. It is concluded that various diagnostic approaches particularly molecular test like PCR was able to detect hidden neoplastic conditions in dogs which were otherwise hard to diagnose clinically and using imaging or cytology techniques. The study also concludes that neoplastic conditions in dogs are common and should form the part of clinical enquiry by the veterinarians. | en_US |
