Abstract

Radiation therapy is a medical method well established in the treatment of cancer in
veterinary medicine worldwide. The radiotherapy protocols applied in animals vary according
to several factors. In most procedures require sedation or anesthesia of the animal and this fact
imposes the use of immobilization accessories specially developed for the different species of
animals and treated as their specified procedures. Therefore, this study aims to describe the
types of accessories used for immobilization and for the protection of small animals
undergoing radiotherapy. For its development a literature search was performed by search
sites like Google Scholar, Scielo, Bireme, PubMed, and consultations in books campus library
Botucatu UNESP. Despite the limitations of each accessory rated this review, it was possible
to identify the use of each and how this can be advantageous for the treatment of animals
undergoing radiation therapy
