    One dog with apocrine adenocarcinoma of the distal digits and one with squamous cell carcinoma of the hind limb nail bed underwent disarticulation of the carpal or tarsal joints, followed by prosthetic fitting. Contrary to several reports of prosthetic limb complications, the two presented cases experienced only minor, well-tolerated complications. In cases where complete limb amputation is currently indicated, partial limb amputation and prosthetic limb fitting may be a viable alternative, allowing tumor treatment while maintaining a high quality of life (QOL). However, further studies are required to establish the indications, surgical techniques, prosthetic design, and other aspects of the procedure.

    A 3-year-old male Japanese domestic cat with nephroblastoma was initially treated with orthovoltage irradiation at 8 Gy once weekly for 4 weeks. Irradiation achieved partial remission, after which the tumor was surgically removed. Postoperative chemotherapy with mitoxantrone was administered at a dose of 6 mg/m2 five times every 3 weeks, for 12 weeks. The cat showed complete remission and survived for over 3 years after the first admission without recurrence or metastasis. Nephroblastoma is a rare tumor in cats. This case suggests that even the large nephroblastoma can be treated with this combination.
