USO DA RADIOTERAPIA NO TUMOR VENÉREO TRANSMISSÍVEL EM CÂES
Keywords:
canine transmissible venereal tumor, radiotherapyAbstract
Since the discovery of x rays, the use of radiation in oncology has advanced remarkably. In
Brazil, radiation therapy in animals is limited to some isolated studies in public universities
and the procedures performed is still precarious because radiation equipments are expensive
and there is still a lack of skilled professionals. The transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) is a
contagious neoplasm of spontaneous occurrence, commonly treated with vincristine. This
paper describes the positive experience of radiotherapy as an isolated option or as an
combined treatment with vincristine in three cases of TVT. It was observed that radiotherapy
may be used in routine clinical chemotherapy alone or combined with chemotherapy since
suitable sources of radiation are provided.
