The Role of Targeted Osmotic Lysis in the Treatment of Advanced Carcinoma in Companion Animals: A Case Series

Figure 13

The photographs in (a) depicts the appearance of a large tumor located in the left oral pharynx (large arrow) and a second, smaller mass on the right (small arrow) that was discovered on initial physical examination (a). The photograph in (b) depicts the tumors midway through a third treatment with TOL. Note that the smaller tumor is no longer apparent (small arrow) and the larger tumor is significantly reduced. The calibration bar in (a) is 3 mm. The photomicrograph in (c) depicts the immunohistofluorescent labeling of VGSCs observed in a tissue sample taken from the tumor in (a) before treatment with TOL. Note that TOL was the only treatment provided in the management of the tumors. The calibration bar in (c) is 25 μm.
