INTRODUCTION
Lung cancer in dogs: A potentially fatal diagnosis for a dog that can be devastating for the owner.
Lung cancer in dogs is almost always secondary in nature.
Most common in older, medium to large dogs.
![Page 3: Lung cancer presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/555d8099d8b42a6c3d8b4ad3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
TYPES OF LUNG CANCER There are 2 types of lung cancer diagnosed in
dogs:
Primary lung cancer Metastatic lung cancer
Primary lung cancer is defined as lung tumors originating in the lung tissue whereas secondary lung cancer originates elsewhere in the body such as limb bone, mouth or thyroid gland but spread to the lung via bloodstream.

CONT.
Metastatic Lung Cancer
![Page 6: Lung cancer presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/555d8099d8b42a6c3d8b4ad3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
CONT.
Primary lung tumors are almost always malignant and are usually carcinomas.
They usually present as large solitary mass visible in the lung on a chest x-ray.
Metastatic or secondary lung cancer are usually found in multiple, not as single mass.
![Page 7: Lung cancer presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/555d8099d8b42a6c3d8b4ad3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
ETIOLOGY
No straightforward etiology.
Non-lethal genetic mutations in the DNA can make changes in the regulation of cell death and replacement deviate from the normal.
Surrounding environment can be considered.
Secondary smoking from the smoker owners.
Asbestos can be a cause of a specific form of lung cancer called mesothelioma.
![Page 8: Lung cancer presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/555d8099d8b42a6c3d8b4ad3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
RISK FACTORS
Both male and female dogs are susceptible.
Increase risk associated with living in urban area.
Average age of diagnosis is 11 years.
Short-nosed dogs have twice the risk as medium or long-nosed dogs.
![Page 9: Lung cancer presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/555d8099d8b42a6c3d8b4ad3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SYMPTOMS
Chronic coughing which may also produce phlegm or blood.
Exercise intolerance (lethargy).
Weight loss and loss of appetite.
Distressed breathing or shortness of breath.
Occasional lameness if the cancer spreads to the bone.

Physical Examination:1. Abnormal or muffled lung sounds indicating
dyspnea.2. Enlarged lymph nodes or skin lesions.
![Page 11: Lung cancer presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/555d8099d8b42a6c3d8b4ad3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CONT. Diagnostic tests:
1. Complete blood count
2. Biochemical profile (blood sugar, blood proteins, electrolytes.
3. Urinalysis
4. Chest radiographs: Single most important tool for preliminary diagnosis.
5. Fine needle aspirate of lung mass.
6. Bronchoscopy
7. Advanced imaging: CT and MRI.

TYPICAL FINDINGS ON RADIOGRAPHS
Primary lung tumors frequently found in the caudal lobe, usually single mass (unless spread).
Metastatic tumors are multiple and found in a variety of lung lobes.

TREATMENT OPTIONS
Single lung lobe tumors are removed surgically.
Multiple lung lobe tumors are usually metastatic- cancer spread from another site and treated with chemotherapy.
![Page 19: Lung cancer presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/555d8099d8b42a6c3d8b4ad3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SURGICAL CORRECTION OF SINGLE LUNG TUMORS
Each lung lobe can be removed separately.
Through an incision in the side of the chest (“Lateral thoracotomy”), just behind the forelimb.
Incision goes between the ribs, spreading apart and then brought back together once the lung lobe has been removed.
The vessels and bronchus to the lobe are either tied off with suture or with stapler.
![Page 20: Lung cancer presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/555d8099d8b42a6c3d8b4ad3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

2. 5th rib is identified by the caudal insertion of the
scalenus muscle and the cranial origin of the external
abdominal oblique muscle. Incise either muscle
depending on the inercostal space to be entered
![Page 24: Lung cancer presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/555d8099d8b42a6c3d8b4ad3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

horizontal mattress suture (collapse
the bronchus)
• The bronchus is transected just distal
to these suture.
• The bronchial suture line is tested for
air leakage:
1. Flood the thorax with warm
saline
2. Ventilate the animal 25 to 30cm
H2O pressure
3. Additional suture may by placed
to close major leaks

CONT.
• A 2 inches lung lobe tumor in a caudal lung lobe. A black suture has been passed around the large artery to the lobe.
• The ribs have been spread apart to expose a lung lobe tumor in a middle lung lobe.
![Page 30: Lung cancer presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/555d8099d8b42a6c3d8b4ad3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

CONT.
• Placement of circumcostal suture will entrap intercostal
nerves
• Transcostal suture may lessen postoperative pain
![Page 33: Lung cancer presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/555d8099d8b42a6c3d8b4ad3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
CONT.
• Before closing the thoracotomy,
a thoracostomy drain is placed to
establish negative pressure in
the pleural space
• Reappose muscles separately
• Close subcutis and skin routinely
![Page 34: Lung cancer presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/555d8099d8b42a6c3d8b4ad3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
CONT.
The chest tube is used to remove excess fluid or air and to install a local anesthetic to block pain.
![Page 35: Lung cancer presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/555d8099d8b42a6c3d8b4ad3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
POSTOPERATIVE CARE
Monitor if hypoventilation, hypoxemia
occur
Pain control
Chest tubes are aspired frequently (every
2-4hours), and the amount of air is
quantitated
Chest tubes are generally removed in 24-
48 hours if air is not accumulating
![Page 36: Lung cancer presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/555d8099d8b42a6c3d8b4ad3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
PROGNOSIS
The prognosis is generally good for dogs with single primary lung tumor, small mass in the lungs that has not been spread to the lymph nodes or other tissue.
More than 50% are expected to survive 1 year after removal of mass.
