Zehnder AM, Swift LA, Sundaram A, et al. Clinical features, treatment, and outcomes of cutaneous and oral squamous cell carcinoma in avian species. J Am Vet Med Assn 252(3):309 ‒315, 2018.

Oral and squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) are common in avian species but have been poorly characterized in terms of treatment outcomes and survival. The goal of this study was to tabulate treatment responses, concurrent conditions, and disease outcomes in a retrospective cohort of avian species with SCC diagnosed and treated at various institutions, with the aim of providing information on species predilection and concurrent conditions. Case information was collected by means of an online survey from 3 veterinary universities as well as general and specialized private veterinary practices in 11 states.
