Carcinogênese hormonal e neoplasias hormônio-dependentes

As neoplasias hormônio-dependentes podem originar-se de mutações genéticas resultantes da proliferação de células normais ou da multiplicação de células já transformadas por outros carcinógenos. Alguns hormônios e drogas anti-hormonais estão sendo utilizados com sucesso no tratamento dessas neoplasias em humanos. Apesar da freqüência elevada das neoplasias hormônio-dependentes nos animais, seu tratamento com hormônios antagonistas e fármacos anti-hormonais, bem como a identificação imunoistoquímica de receptores hormonais nas neoplasias não fazem parte da rotina dos hospitais veterinários.<br>The hormone-dependent neoplasms may originate from genetic mutations resulting the normal cells proliferation or of the cells multiplication already transformed by other carcinogen. Some hormones and anti-hormones drugs are being used with success in the treatment of those neoplasm in humans. In spite of the elevated frequency of the hormone dependent neoplasms in the animals, the use of antagonistic hormones and anti-hormones drugs, as well as the identification immunohistochemical of hormones receptors in the neoplasm is not already part of the veterinary hospitals routine
