Plain-English summary
A 7-year-old cat was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive tumor called feline restrictive orbital myofibroblastic sarcoma (FROMS) and underwent surgery to remove it. After surgery, the cat was treated with a medication called toceranib phosphate (Palladia) as an additional therapy to help prevent the tumor from returning. Unfortunately, despite the treatment, the cat passed away four months later. This case suggests that more research is needed to understand how effective toceranib phosphate is for treating this type of tumor in cats.
