Anti-tumour Treatment

Anticancer therapy, especially in veterinary medicine, was based and still relies almost exclusively on surgical therapy, although associated therapy has developed over the past decades: surgery and/or chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, with the development of cryotherapy, immunotherapy and in general, the adoption of techniques and methodologies used in human oncology.

The therapeutic strategy should take into account the below indispensable elements:

– the histological nature of the lesion;
– the assessment of the extension of the tumor process;
– the evaluation of the general disease state.
The histological nature of the lesion should be known at least for the following reasons: not all tumors show the same sensitivity to chemotherapy or radiotherapy; antimitotic substances that possess activity against some cell families and hematolymphopoietic organ tumors are not active against sarcomas; anticancer therapy should be capable of anticipating the probable evolution of the tumor process against which action should be taken [6].

Anticancer therapy should be evaluated for each individual patient, with all peculiarities involved. In this sense, therapy in neoplastic disease can be aimed at:

– curative treatment, which determines recovery;
– adjuvant treatment, which helps other complex therapies or prevents unfavorable evolution (recurrences, metastases) and participates at the same time in hopefully curative polytherapy;
– palliative treatment, which cannot be aimed at recovery but only an improvement in symptomatology and/or the prolongation of life.
