  • Title: Topical use of 5-fluorouracil for treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the external genitalia of horses: 11 cases (1988-1992).
    Author: Fortier LA, Mac Harg MA.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1994 Oct 15; 205(8):1183-5. PubMed ID: 7890581.
    Abstract:
    Ten horses with histologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and 1 horse with presumptive SCC of the external genitalia were treated with a combination of surgical debridement and topical administration of 5-fluorouracil, or with topical treatment alone. Tumor remission was obtained in all horses except 1 in which owner compliance was deficient, and no recurrences have been reported. Topical use of 5-fluorouracil as a chemotherapeutic agent for treatment of genital lesions of SCC in horses should be considered as a viable alternative to radical surgical excision.
