An update on diagnosing and treating primary lung tumors

Primary lung tumors are uncommon in dogs and rare in cats. Most patients will not present with overt clinical signs of respiratory distress, but more commonly primary lung tumors will be incidental findings or will be the cause of nonspecific signs of such as EMRT and RFA may provide alternatives to surgery, and aerosolized chemotherapy may be used in conjunction withsystemic drug administration to enhance overall anticancer effects. The net effect of these newer therapeutic options would be to provide longer disease-free intervals and survival times in dogs and cats with primary lung tumors.
