Canine urethral transitional cell carcinoma

Author
Dampf, Melissa
Abstract
The following case report describes the presentation and diagnostic evaluation of a 6-year-old spayed female mixed breed
dog, with a 1.5-month history of dysuria, that was referred to the Small Animal Oncology Service at Cornell
University's College of Veterinary Medicine. The chief complaint of recurrent or persistent stranguria, pollakiuria, and
hematuria in the dog, is consistently associated with a relatively defined list of differential diagnoses. Among these
differentials is lower urinary tract neoplasia, with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) being the most common type.
Therapeutic modalities for urinary transitional cell carcinoma include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
Regardless of the treatment modality, the majority of dogs are not cured of transitional cell carcinoma, and survival time is
usually limited.
