Abstract:
The present clinical study was conducted to study incidence, clinical symptoms, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings of bovine eye cancer. A total of 36 cattle aged between 1 to 8 years were involved in this study. Incidence of eye cancer in bovines among a total number of bovine cases was recorded over a period of one year. The incidence of eye cancer in cattle was found to be high in age group of above 5 years followed by 2-5 years. The correlations in the breed wise incidence of eye cancer in cattle revealed highest incidence of holstein friesian crossbred cows followed by jersey crossbred cows and non-descript cows. Histopathologically, all cases were evident of squamous cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemical studies were conducted to know the rate of proliferation of bovine eye cancer. Immunopositive reaction was observed against VEGF and EGFR in most of the bovine eye cancer.
