Resumo
As lesões oncológicas de um modo crescente têm vindo a ser alvo da atenção científica e de numerosos estudos, tanto na Medicina Humana como na Medicina Veterinária. Para que seja possível o estudo epidemiológico das neoplasias numa dada população é essencial ter acesso a registos oncológicos.
Este trabalho de dissertação pretende contribuir para a elaboração e interpretação futura de um registo oncológico oficial em Portugal, deixando aqui retratada uma das faces que constituem a realidade oncológica nacional à data presente.
Para esse efeito foi elaborado um estudo estatístico de um conjunto de 2678 amostras da espécie canina provenientes de todo o território português, as quais foram recebidas no departamento de anatomopatologia da DNAtech entre os anos de 2008 e 2010.
Do total de 2678 amostras, 2096 (78,3%) foram referentes a casos neoplásicos; desses, 552 (26,3%) casos foram referentes a neoplasias epiteliais e melanocíticas da pele, 544 (26,0%) casos a neoplasias mesenquimatosas da pele e tecidos moles, 525 (25,0%) casos foram referentes a neoplasias da glândula mamária, sendo o restante número de casos distribuído por outros sistemas minoritários.
As neoplasias com comportamento biológico benigno prevaleceram na amostra assim como os animais do sexo feminino com idade média igual a 10 anos.
Oncology has been one of the major focuses of scientific research, both in Human and Veterinary Medicine. In order to make an epidemiologic study of neoplasias in a population it is crucial to have access to oncologic registries. This dissertation aims to contribute to the elaboration and interpretation of a future official cancer registry in Portugal, leaving here a partial picture of the portuguese veterinary oncologic situation by this date. To achieve this, we designed a statistical study of a set of 2678 dog samples coming from all portuguese territory, which were received in the department of pathology of DNAtech between the year 2008 and 2010. Among the 2678 samples, 2096 (78,3%) were neoplasic lesions; from these, 552 (26,3%) cases were epithelial and melanocytic tumors of the skin, 544 (26,0%) cases were mesenchymal tumors of the skin and soft tissues and 525 (25,0%) cases were from mammary gland tumors and. The remaining cases were classified into other systems. Benign tumors prevailed in this study, as well as female dogs with a mean age of 10 years.
