Persistent papilloma treated with cryotherapy in three dogs

Abstract

The apparent resolution of these papilloma lesions with cryotherapy suggests that this may be a useful treatment intervention for persistent canine papilloma lesions. Spontaneous resolution may still have taken place; consequently, large scale clinical trials are required to demonstrate unequivocally that this mode of therapy, as with other therapeutic modalities, is really effective in the treatment of canine papillomatosis.

Severe persistent canine oral papillomatosis a multimodal approach including interferon alpha‐2B, CPV‐1 autologous vaccine, CO2 laser ablation and aggressive cryotherapy

“…The use of cryotherapy for viral lesions has been successfully documented in both human and veterinary medicine. Cryotherapy intervention in three dogs affected by persistent papilloma utilising a 5–6 freeze‐thaw cycle (15–30 s) was reported to be a highly effective treatment modality 7. Given the severity and extensive nature of the CPV growths, surgically debulking and ablating the growths first provided better penetration for cryotherapy administration.…”

“…The lesions were frozen with liquid nitrogen using a Mini‐Cryogun (Brymill, Vernon, Connecticut, USA). A more aggressive previously described freeze‐thaw cycle technique was used 7. Clindamycin hydrochloride capsules (Ranbaxy) 7.6 mg/kg orally twice daily for 1 week was restarted to prevent secondary infection and interferon was continued.…”

Cryotherapy to treat benign skin tumours in conscious dogs

“…The main advantages of LN‐cryotherapy are the selective destruction of diseased tissue without damaging the surrounding normal area and the avoidance of general anaesthesia . In the past, cryosurgery in dogs has been described in sedated or anaesthetized patients . Benign sebaceous or follicular tumours are common in dogs and they can be numerous .…”

“…1 In the past, cryosurgery in dogs has been described in sedated or anaesthetized patients. [2][3][4][5] Benign sebaceous or follicular tumours are common in dogs and they can be numerous. 6 Surgery under general anaesthesia is usually suggested to treat these lesions.…”

Hauttumoren des Hundes

“…Die Prognose ist bei Adenomen gut und bei Karzinomen je nach Ausmaß und Stadium vorsichtig.TherapieBeim Junghund ist meist keine Therapie nötig, da es in der Regel zur Spontanremission kommt[18]. Bei einer Traumatisierung oder beim älteren Hund ist eine (kryo-)chirurgische Therapie indiziert[26]. Umstritten ist die Herstellung einer Autovakzine.…”
