Rintakasvaimet ovat merkitt\u00e4v\u00e4 terveysongelma vanhemmilla kissoilla, sill\u00e4 niiden osuus kaikista naaraskissojen kasvaimista on noin 17% ja ne ovat kolmanneksi yleisin kasvaintyyppi. N\u00e4iden kasvainten esiintymistodenn\u00e4k\u00f6isyys kasvaa samalla, kun i\u00e4kk\u00e4iden kotikissojen populaatio kasvaa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kotimaiset lyhytkarvaiset ja siamilaiset kissat ovat erityisen alttiita rintakasvaimille, ja siamilaisilla esiintyy niit\u00e4 huomattavasti useammin - kaksinkertainen m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4 muihin rotuihin verrattuna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e4m\u00e4 kasvaimet esiintyv\u00e4t usein kovina kyhmyin\u00e4 maitorauhasissa, ja ne voidaan havaita varhaisessa vaiheessa lemmikkiel\u00e4inten s\u00e4\u00e4nn\u00f6llisen hoidon, kuten uinnin, hoidon tai leikkimisen yhteydess\u00e4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tarkat syyt ovat ep\u00e4selv\u00e4t, mutta ne voivat liitty\u00e4 progesteronin tai vastaavien l\u00e4\u00e4kkeiden k\u00e4ytt\u00f6\u00f6n, ja estrogeeniin liittyv\u00e4 riski on pienempi. Oireet riippuvat kasvaimen koosta, sijainnista ja siit\u00e4, onko se hyv\u00e4n- vai pahanlaatuinen. Niihin voi kuulua laihtuminen, kyhmym\u00e4iset turvotukset ja pitk\u00e4lle edenneiss\u00e4 vaiheissa mahdollisesti haavaumat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diagnoosi alkaa yleens\u00e4 kliinisten oireiden tunnistamisesta ja edellytt\u00e4\u00e4 lis\u00e4tutkimuksia, kuten koepaloja, jotta voidaan varmistaa, onko kasvain hyv\u00e4n- vai pahanlaatuinen. Hoitoon kuuluu yleens\u00e4 kirurginen poisto, ja pahanlaatuisissa tapauksissa siihen voi sis\u00e4lty\u00e4 kemoterapiaa. Ennen leikkausta teht\u00e4v\u00e4t arvioinnit, kuten r\u00f6ntgenkuvat ja verikokeet, ovat ratkaisevan t\u00e4rkeit\u00e4 riskien minimoimiseksi ja toipumisen ohjaamiseksi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naaraskissojen steriloiminen ennen niiden ensimm\u00e4ist\u00e4 tiinehtymiskiertoa voi pienent\u00e4\u00e4 huomattavasti riski\u00e4 sairastua rintakasvaimiin. Tutkimusten mukaan steriloidut kissat sairastuvat n\u00e4ihin kasvaimiin seitsem\u00e4n kertaa pienemm\u00e4ll\u00e4 todenn\u00e4k\u00f6isyydell\u00e4 kuin steriloimattomat kissat, joten varhainen sterilointi on t\u00e4rke\u00e4 ennaltaehk\u00e4isev\u00e4 toimenpide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00e4\u00e4nn\u00f6lliset el\u00e4inl\u00e4\u00e4k\u00e4rin tarkastukset ja kissasi rintarauhasissa tapahtuvien muutosten tarkka seuranta ovat elint\u00e4rkeit\u00e4 rintakasvainten varhaisen havaitsemisen ja tehokkaan hoidon kannalta. Kastraatio ei ainoastaan est\u00e4 ei-toivottuja pentueita, vaan se my\u00f6s v\u00e4hent\u00e4\u00e4 merkitt\u00e4v\u00e4sti rintakasvainten riski\u00e4 ja edist\u00e4\u00e4 naaraskissojen terveemp\u00e4\u00e4 el\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
