Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in the platelet (PLT) indices, erythrocytes indices and complete blood count (CBC) parameters between the cats with mammary tumor and healthy queens. Also, the differences in above mentioned parameters are going to be investigated in cats with mammary tumors with regard to clinicopathological characteristics of the primary tumor. A total of 44 queens were included in the study. The study groups consisted of cats with mammary tumors (Group MT, n=22) and healthy cats presented for neutering (Group H, n=22). The ages of the cats were ranged between 5-15 years. The mean ages of the cats in Group MT was 10.77±0.80 and in Group H was 6.75±1.21 years. All data on CBC, thoracic radiography, clinical examination findings and histopathology were obtained from the the patient archive in the animal hospital automation system. While the highest red blood cell (RBC) and hemoglobulin (HGB) levels were observed in Group H, Group MT had the highest white blood cell (WBC), mean platelet volume (MPV) and plateletcrit (PCT) levels. The mean corpuscular volume (MCV) level in T1 was significantly lower than in T2-T3. The MCV level in G1-G2 tended to be higher compared to G3.In Group MT, CBC parameters were not significantly different related to the presence of metastasis, presence of ulceration and inflammation on the tumor. It was concluded that evaluation of CBC and PLT indices in cats with mammary tumors would be useful in understanding the hematological effects of the disease and tumor characteristics (tumor size and histological grade).

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, meme tümörlü kediler ile sağlıklı dişi kediler arasındaki trombosit (PLT) indeksleri, eritrosit indeksleri ve tam kan sayımı (CBC) parametrelerindeki farklılıkları değerlendirmektir. Ayrıca meme tümörlü kedilerde yukarıda belirtilen parametrelerdeki farklılıklar, primer tümörün klinikopatolojik özellikleri açısından araştırılacaktır. Çalışmaya toplam 44 dişi kedi dahil edildi. Çalışma grupları, meme tümörlü kediler (Grup MT, n=22) ve kısırlaştırma için getirilen sağlıklı kedilerden (Grup H, n=22) oluşturuldu. Kedilerin yaşları 5-15 arasında değişiyordu. Grup MT'deki kedilerin yaş ortalaması 10,77±0,80, Grup H'deki kedilerin yaş ortalaması ise 6,75±1,21 yıldı. Tam kan sayımı, toraks radyografisi, klinik muayene bulguları ve histopatolojik incelemeye ilişkin tüm veriler, hayvan hastanesi otomasyon sistemindeki hasta arşivinden elde edildi. En yüksek kırmızı kan hücresi (RBC) ve hemoglobin (HGB) düzeyleri Grup H'de görülürken, Grup MT en yüksek beyaz kan hücresi (WBC), ortalama trombosit hacmi (MPV) ve platelekrit (PCT) düzeylerine sahipti. T1'deki ortalama korpüsküler hacim (MCV) seviyesi T2-T3'e göre anlamlı derecede düşüktü. G1-G2'deki MCV seviyesi G3'e kıyasla daha yüksek olma eğilimindeydi. Grup MT'de CBC parametreleri tümörde metastaz varlığı, ülserasyon ve inflamasyon varlığına bağlı olarak anlamlı farklılık göstermedi. Meme tümörlü kedilerde CBC ve PLT indekslerinin değerlendirilmesinin hastalığın ve tümör özelliklerinin (tümör boyutu ve histolojik derecesi) hematolojik etkilerinin anlaşılmasında faydalı olacağı sonucuna varıldı.
