The eletrochemotherapy is a new treatment option for neoplasms that involves the application of chemotherapeutic drugs endovenously or intralesionally, associated with local severe and short duration electrical pulses. The electrical pulses promote destabilization of the cell membrane, causing transitory pore formation and facilitating the entry of chemotherapeutic agents inside the cells, increasing its cytotoxicity. This therapy allows for lower doses of chemotherapy drugs compared to conventional chemotherapy, resulting in the decrease of side effects and costs of treatment. The eletrochemotherapy has proved effective in the treatment of cancer regardless of its histological origin and location. This review aims to highlight possibilities to use this treatment in Veterinary Oncology

Tumoral masses can cause several direct problems in the organism, such as invading organs and altering their functions, leading to other problems such as the Paraneoplastic syndrome. The paraneoplastic syndrome is an alteration in the structure and function of the body due to the non-invasive actions of the tumor, for example, liberating hormones, peptides, cytokines and leading to cross reactions between normal tissues. The syndrome can affect different locations in the body, being that some are indicative of specific tumors, however the interpretation of the clinical and pathological findings referring to this syndrome should be utilized in the diagnostic and treatment. In the hematological paraneoplastic syndrome, there are alterations that occur due to indirect actions of the tumor on the blood cellular elements and the coagulation system, and that are generally detected in routine clinical and laboratorial exams. This study objective is to aboard some hematological paraneoplastic syndromes in dogs such as: anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutrophilic leukocytosis, hypergammaglobulinemia and erythrocytosis, emphasizing the different etiologies that may assist in differential diagnosis and the principal neoplasm related to this syndrome. Besides this, the early discovery and treatment of the paraneoplatic syndrome is important as the tumor itself, as it improves the prognostic and quality of life of the patient

O câncer é um conjunto de mais de 100 doenças que atinge todas as faixas etárias e sociais, independente do sexo. Acomete milhões de pessoas no mundo inteiro anualmente, sendo grande causadora de mortes. De maneira sucinta, é caracterizado pelo descontrole na proliferação de células anormais.Células tidas como normais em um organismo vivem, proliferam-se (dividem-se) e morrem de maneira controlada, sem danos para o mesmo. Entretanto, algumas células podem não obedecer ao controle, e por ora, dividem-se rápido e desordenadamente, devido, provavelmente, um defeito na maquinaria da mesma, acometendo o material genético. Com danos, a célula recorre ao sistema de reparo, o qual, por sua vez, pode não responder, e assim são originadas as células cancerosas. Esse crescimento exagerado leva consequentemente, a um maior número de células anormais, formando uma grande massa conhecida como tumor ou neoplasia maligna. Há dois tipos de tumores, o benigno e o maligno, sendo que a diferença entre eles está na agilidade do crescimento de suas células e também no deslocamento destas para outras partes do corpo. As células dos tumores benignos apresentam um crescimento lento quando comparado às células malignas, bem como não se deslocam do local de origem, e assim, não se propagam para outras partes do corpo. Já as células malignas apresentam características opostas às benignas; elas possuem a propriedade de se disseminar entre tecidos normais, formando tumores secundários. Tal processo de deslocamento de células cancerígenas de um determinado local para outro, implicando na formação de um novo tumor neste local, é conhecido como metástase. Aproximadamente 90% das mortes por câncer estão associadas à metástase, que mesmo com grandes avanços da ciência ainda é um processo pouco compreendido. Um fato importante na compreensão da metástase foi a divisão... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

This paper is part of a larger project that is being developed at our university, whose goal is to enable students of Literature and Translation to detect and analyze linguistic phenomena based on electronic corpora, consisting of original texts and texts translated, which show the general language, literary language and specialized language. One of its aspects is the analysis of medical abstracts and their translation process. Thus, this undergraduate research project, we seek to observe the technical-scientific English language by performing translations of abstracts of scientific articles of Neurology and Oncology.

Germline mutations in TP53 gene are associated with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) and its variants Li-Fraumeni-like (LFL). They predispose carriers to a wide variety of early onset tumors. In Brazil, there is a high frequency of a germline mutation in this gene (NC_000017.9: c.1010G>A; p.R337H) in Southern and Southeastern regions, due to a founder effect. It is estimated to be present in 0,3% ofthe local population, but only few families have been detected. Due to this significant divergence, the purpose of this study was to verify the effectiveness of wider criteria for detection of these individuals. Herein, clinical criteria were established, DNA samples were collected, analyzed by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) and sequenced. Thus, assessing the prevalence of this mutation in families with multiple cases of cancer. Based on our proposed criteria, one out of 31 patients (3,22%) was found to carry p.R337H mutation. The patient developed ductal invasive breast cancer at age 47, invasive adenocarcinoma of the lung at age 48 and soft-tissue sarcoma at age 49. In addition, an extensive cancer family history was referred, atypical for LFS, including a case of Ewing’s sarcoma. These outcomes indicate that the proposed criteria may detect probable carriers who did not fit previous LFS criteria. Nevertheless, additional studies, which might include a larger number of families and more stringent parameters, will be useful to improve screening sensibility

INTRODUCTION: Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation receive high doses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which cause severe immunosuppression. OBJECTIVE: To report an oral disease management protocol before and after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. METHODS: A prospective study was carried out with 65 patients aged > 18 years, with hematological diseases, who were allocated into two groups: A (allogeneic transplant, 34 patients); B (autologous transplant, 31 patients). A total of three dental status assessments were performed: in the pre-transplantation period (moment 1), one week after stem cell infusion (moment 2), and 100 days after transplantation (moment 3). In each moment, oral changes were assigned scores and classified as mild, moderate, and severe risks. RESULTS: The most frequent pathological conditions were gingivitis, pericoronitis in the third molar region, and ulcers at the third moment assessments. However, at moments 2 and 3, the most common disease was mucositis associated with toxicity from the drugs used in the immunosuppression. CONCLUSION: Mucositis accounted for the increased score and potential risk of clinical complications. Gingivitis, ulcers, and pericoronitis were other changes identified as potential risk factors for clinical complications.

Several types of tumors affect dogs' skin. Simultaneously occurring neoplasms with different histological patterns might be rarely present in the same animal. This paper describes the occurrence of epitheliotropic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and melanoma in a dog. The animal had nodular lesions in the abdominal region and serpiginous plaques on the dorsal region of the trunk. Cytology evidenced malignant fusiform cells from the abdominal lesions as well as few round cells from the dorsal. The histopathological examination of the abdominal lesions showed dermis with polygonal to spindle-shaped neoplastic cells. The lesion of the dorsal region evidenced neoplastic round cells with generally distinct cell borders and a moderate amount of eosinophilic cytoplasm. Abdominal lesions were positive for Melan A. Dorsal and forelimb lesions were positive for CD3. This study reports the occurrence of epitheliotropic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and malignant melanoma in a crossbred Boxer dog and discusses the importance of performing immunohistochemical profile to confirm the phenotype of the tumor.

With the purpose of shedding light on some doubts in veterinary oncology, the present article intends to compare the results of histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations of unspecific round cell neoplasia, to realize immunophenotyping of canine lymphoma cases, to establish the T or B origin of neoplastic cells, and to determine the degree of proliferation and apoptosis of lymphomas by immunohistochemistry. Of 11 animals presenting immunohistochemical diagnosis of lymphoma, five had been diagnosed as Lymphoma by HE staining of histopathological slides and six had been classified as unspecific round cell neoplasia. All cases submitted to immunohistochemical examination were T-cell lymphomas. There was a positive correlation between cell proliferation and apoptosis. The comparison among histopathological and immunohistochemical results obtained in the cases examined in the present study suggested that immunohistochemistry is essential for the differentiation of round cell neoplasia.
