Background: Intracranial histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is uncommon in dogs, and no standard treatment has yet been defined for this disease. Herein, we describe a case of intracranial HS that responded favorably to nimustine treatment.
Case Description: A 9-year-old, castrated Welsh Corgi Pembroke presented with a 2-month history of quadriplegia.

Lung cancer ranks as the second most diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Novel chemotherapeutic strategies are crucial to efficiently target tumor cells while minimizing toxicity to normal cells. In this study, we proposed a combination strategy using energy blocker lonidamine (LND) and cytotoxic drug nimustine (ACNU, 1-[(4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)methyl]-3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosourea) to enhance the killing of a human lung cancer cell line and investigated the potential chemo-sensitizing mechanism of LND.

Canine histiocytic sarcoma (CHS) is a malignant tumor derived from macrophages and dendritic cells. Since effective chemotherapy is needed for CHS cases, we conducted this prospective study to evaluate the efficacy and adverse events of vincristine treatment as a rescue therapy for this disease. We administered vincristine to nine CHS cases that acquired resistance to lomustine or nimustine.

A 12-year-old male domestic cat with multiple subcutaneous mast cell tumours (MCTs) presented with a 2-week history of pruritus and raw/bleeding skin from self-trauma at Kagoshima University Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and histopathological analyses revealed intertumoral heterogeneity among tumour locations based on the mutation status of KIT. In addition, the expression pattern of KIT was characterized.

Oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted is known for their relative chemosensitivity and indolent clinical course among diffuse gliomas of adult type. Based on the data from phase 3 clinical trials, the standard of post-surgical care for those tumors is considered to be initial chemoradiotherapy regardless of histopathological grade, particularly with PCV. However, partly due to its renewed definition in late years, prognostic factors in patients with those tumors are not well established.
