Generally speaking
Because the symptoms of many diseases are similar to the tumor, they can make a hard block protruding a certain part of the body. Some owners will be frightened by mistakes as tumors, and some unsatisfactory owners will treat real tumors as ordinary skin problems. Therefore, it is best to take a dog for inspection.
Tumors can be divided into two types of benign and malignant. The growth rate is faster than normal tissue. Malignant tumors have a great impact on the life of tissue and dogs. There are usually the following methods of diagnosis of tumors:
1. Live Organization Check
Biopsy is a rapid and accurate clinical diagnosis method. Usually, it is diagnosed under the microscope through cutting, puncture, scraping tumor tissue or tissue fragments of tissue. Before the biopsy, the basic situation of dogs should be understood, such as varieties, gender, age, tumor growth site, growth rate, appearance and palpation.
2. Instrument diagnosis
Use X -ray perspective, shooting is an effective way to judge the tumor site. For abdominal tumors, B -ultrasound can be used to help diagnosis. Various spare mirrors, such as esophageal and gastroscopy, colonoscopy, laparoscopy, etc. are of great significance to the diagnosis of tumors. The accuracy of CT tumor diagnosis is better, but because the cost of the equipment is too high, there are not many domestic veterinarians clinically.
3. Immunology examination: Diagnosis of antigen and antibodies related to tumor -related antigens.
4. Organizational chemical inspection: Tumors are used to identify similar tumor structures and morphology.
5. Clinical Diagnosis: Refers to the traditional method of combining visual diagnosis, palpation, and consultation. When lack of instruments, understand the growth rate of tumors through clinical methods such as outpatient, visual diagnosis, palpation, and other clinical methods. The status of the surface, whether the boundary between the surrounding organization is clear, the growth method, whether the continuous bleeding, and whether the metastasis occurs. It should be judged whether it is benign or malignant, and it should be paid attention to distinguished from hematoma, abscess, and inflammatory swelling. When the swelling appears within 2-3 days, and it means that there is heat and pain, it is generally bacterial infection. After anti-inflammatory treatment, the swelling can be reduced or resolved. The tumor is generally gradually growing and does not fade by itself.
