Local Chemotherapy Using a Lidocaine Jelly Mixed with Carboplatin Applied with Concurrent Radiation Therapy in the Treatment of an Oral Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor in a Cat

Abstract

Local chemotherapy using a lidocaine jelly mixed with carboplatin locally injected and concurrent orthovoltage radiation was used to treat an oral malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor in a cat. In the clinical course, adverse events following the local injection were not observed and the size of the tumor was reduced. PEG tube feeding was carried out in combination with this therapy. There may be the potential for an available therapeutic method and there is a need to collect similar cases.
