TL;DR. Cancro agressivo do saco anal com metástases ganglionares precoces e hipercalcemia potencialmente fatal.
Os sacos anais flanqueiam o reto; a cirurgia é delicada.
O que é?
Apocrine gland anal sac adenocarcinoma (AGASACA): locally invasive scent-gland cancer; early sublumbar node metastasis; hypercalcemia of malignancy via PTH-like protein is common and kidney-toxic.
Causas e fatores de risco
Cause unknown. Middle-aged to older dogs (~9–11 y). Higher risk: Beagle, German Shepherd Dog, English Cocker Spaniel.
Sinais a vigilar
- Anal sac/pararectal mass, PU/PD, anorexia, weight loss, vomiting (common)
- Tenesmus, constipation, dyschezia (occasional)
- Emergency: persistent vomiting, extreme lethargy, inability to defecate, collapse
O tenesmo é comum se há obstrução pélvica.
Como os veterinários diagnosticam
Rectal exam, cytology (FNA), histopathology (gold standard), blood (ionized Ca²⁺, kidney values), abdominal ultrasound, 3-view thoracic radiographs.
A ecografia avalia gânglios sublombares e metástases.
Opções de tratamento
Surgery (primary ± lymphadenectomy). Chemo e.g. mitoxantrone. Pain: opioids; NSAIDs cautiously (carprofen). Hypercalcemia: IV fluids before surgery.
Prognóstico
Guarded; stage drives outcome. Metastatic rate variable (~40–90%).
Prevenção
No known prevention. Early detection via routine rectal examination.
Quando chamar o veterinário
