Feline Soft Tissue Sarcomas: A Review of the Classification and Histological Grading, with Comparison to Human and Canine

Abstract

Soft tissue sarcomas are one of the most commonly diagnosed tumours arising in the skin and subcutis of our domestic cats, and are malignant neoplasms with a range of histological presentations and potential biological behaviours. However, unlike their canine and human counterparts, there is no well-established histological grading system for pathologists to apply to these tumours, in order to provide a more accurate and refined prognosis. The situation is further complicated by the presence of feline injection site sarcomas as an entity, as well as confusion over terminology for this group of tumours and which histological types should be included. There is also an absence of large scale studies. This review looks at these tumours in domestic cats, their classification and histological grading, with comparisons to the human and canine grading system.

Electroporation in Translational Medicine: From Veterinary Experience to Human Oncology

“…Currently, ECT is adopted for the adjuvant therapy of incompletely excised STS in cats and dogs. Cats are an important model for humans since STS in this species is often extremely aggressive, rapidly growing and difficult to control [ 50 , 51 ]. ECT has shown great effectiveness in preventing or delaying STS recurrence in both species after incomplete surgical excision in both intraoperative and postoperative modalities [ 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ].…”
