Diagnosis of skin cancer in dogs
Investigative tests are required to distinguish skin cancer in dogs and rule out other diseases. The ability to remedy skin cancer in dogs successfully depends upon the type of cancer and how advanced it is at the instance of identification. Tests that your vet may desire to perform include:
• Cytology, which is microscopic assessment of cells obtained from an aspirate (fluid) of the tumor or a biopsy.
Cytology is the assessment and study of blood or tissue cells beneath a microscope. Cytology can be used to detect inflammation, infection, germs, fungi, parasites and cancer.
• Biopsy, which is removal of portion of the tumor so that it can be evaluated cytologically or with histopathology, in which the tissue is fixed and then sectioned prior to assessment beneath a microscope. Biopsy is the term used to describe the process in which a sample of tissue is taken for microscopic investigation. This procedure is generally invasive, requiring general anesthesia.
• Complete blood count (CBC). A complete blood count (CBC) is a blood test used to quantify and assess cells that move in the blood. The test covers an actual counting of red and white blood cells as well as an analysis of cells examined on a blood smear.
A CBC will reveal the presence of anemia (low red blood cell count). The results can indicate a possible testing of infection, inflammation or immune system disorder.
• Serum chemistry panel, a biochemical analysis. A biochemical profile is a blood test that assesses the performance of inside organs, measures the electrolytes such as blood potassium, and identifies the levels of circulating enzymes.A biochemical profile will disclose signs of organ disease in the kidney or liver.
• Urinalysis. Testing the urine for impurities and electrolyte imbalances.
• Chest radiographs (X-rays)to decide if the lump has extended to the lungs. A thoracic (chest) radiograph (X-ray) is a method that allows your vet to envisage tissues, organs and bones that lie below the skin of the chest cavity. In dogs that may have cancer, x-rays can be used to assess for metastasis (spread).
