Currently, there is minimal methodological standardization for assessing tumors in veterinary medicine, with few attempts to validate published protocols and grading schemes. The current article attempts to address these shortcomings by providing standard guidelines for tumor assessment parameters and protocols for evaluating specific tumor types. More detailed information is available in the Supplemental Files, the intention of which is 2-fold: publication as part of this commentary, but more importantly, these will be available as “living documents” on a website ( www.vetcancerprotocols.org ), which will be updated as new information is presented in the peer-reviewed literature. Our hope is that veterinary pathologists will agree that this initiative is needed, and will contribute to and utilize this information for routine diagnostic work and oncologic studies. Journal editors and reviewers can utilize checklists to ensure publications include sufficient detail and standardized methods of tumor assessment. To maintain the relevance of the guidelines and protocols, it is critical that the information is periodically updated and revised as new studies are published and validated with the intent of providing a repository of this information. Our hope is that this initiative (a continuation of efforts published in this journal in 2011) will facilitate collaboration and reproducibility between pathologists and institutions, increase case numbers, and strengthen clinical research findings, thus ensuring continued progress in veterinary oncologic pathology and improving patient care.}, journal={VETERINARY PATHOLOGY}, author={Meuten, Donald J. and Moore, Frances M. and Donovan, Taryn A. and Bertram, Christof A. and Klopfleisch, Robert and Foster, Robert A. and Smedley, Rebecca C. and Dark, Michael J. and Milovancev, Milan and Stromberg, Paul and et al.}, year={2021}, month={Jul} }

Other than diarrhea associated with coccidiosis in the first year of life, the goat did not have a history of illness. The owner had obtained the goat at approximately 2 months of age. The goat lived with 3 other goats in the same pen on the same premise located on the coastal plains of North Carolina. The goats spent the majority of time in a barn, with access to a wooded 1-acre lot where they browsed. Routine deworming prophylaxis was verified by fecal egg counts. The goat was vaccinated for clostridial diseases, was fed 1 cup of 13.5% protein commercial goat pellets twice a day, and had free access to good quality coastal Bermuda hay. At presentation for recumbency, the goat was nonweight bearing on the right forelimb and could stand only with assistance, but was unable to walk. Otherwise, the goat was bright, alert, responsive, and had a good appetite. Body condition score (5/5), body weight (65.5 kg), rectal temperature (39.2°C [102.5°F]), heart rate (80 beats per minute), respiratory rate (24 breaths per minute), mucous membrane color, and capillary refill time were normal. An abscess was present on the ventral aspect of the mammary gland. To further assess the lameness, lateral, craniocaudal, and oblique radiographs of the right humerus were obtained, and a mildly comminuted, moderately proximo-caudally and medially displaced short oblique fracture of the proximal humeral diaphysis was identified (Fig 1). Marked soft tissue swelling was associated with the fracture. Mild rounding and blunting of the fracture margins without evidence of callus formation were observed and, consequently, some degree of chronicity (>7–10 days) was considered likely. A CBC identified mild macrocytic normochromic anemia (PCV, 20%; reference range, 22–38%; mean cell volume [MCV], 26.4 fL; reference range, 16–24 fL; mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration [MCHC],}, number={6}, journal={Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Meichner, K. and Qurollo, B.A. and Anderson, K.L. and Grindem, C.B. and Savage, M. and Breitschwerdt, E.B.}, year={2015}, month={Oct}, pages={1735–1738} }

The referring veterinarian treated the dog with a single dose of enrofloxacin 130 mg IV and discharged him with oral minocycline 10 mg/kg once daily. The dog vomited all oral medications. At NC State VH, CBC abnormalities included mild normocytic anemia (HCT 30.6%, reference interval [RI] 37– 55%;MCV 69.9 fL, RI 60–72 fL) with mildly elevated MCHC (39.8 g/dL, RI 34–38 g/dL), marked leukocytosis (180,900/ lL, RI 4390–11,610/lL), characterized bymarkedmonocytosis (103,113/lL, RI 75–840/lL), moderate neutrophilia (25,326/lL, RI 2840–9112/lL), marked left shift (12,663 band neutrophils), marked increase in intermediateand late-stage myelomonocytic precursors (25,326/lL), moderate lymphocytosis (14,472/lL, RI 594–3305/lL), and thrombocytopenia (52,000/lL, RI 200,000–500,000/lL). In the absence of hemolysis, gross lipemia, and Heinz bodies, MCHC was considered falsely increased due to extreme leukocytosis. Results of a biochemical panel including urea (17 mg/ dL, RI 7–25) and creatinine (1.0 mg/dL, RI 0.3–1.4) were within normal limits. Voided urinalysis included a sediment examination (Figure 1). Acute leukemia was diagnosed and the dog was euthanized. Based on clinical signs, cytology of peripheral lymph node aspirates, microscopic blood smear review, peripheral blood flow cytometry, and necropsy, final diagnosis was acute monocytic (AML-M5) or acute myelomonocytic (AML-M4) leukemia.}, number={4}, journal={VETERINARY CLINICAL PATHOLOGY}, author={Meichner, Kristina and Olsson, Sandra A. and Stewart, Danielle R. and Musser, Margaret L. and Grindem, Carol B.}, year={2015}, month={Dec}, pages={613–614} }
