A retrospective study of sinonasal tumors in 182 dogs treated with stereotactic radiotherapy (3 × 10 Gy) (2010-2015).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is an emerging treatment for sinonasal tumors in dogs. Reported results regarding tumor control and incidence of acute and late radiation morbidities are inconsistent.

Objectives

To determine treatment efficacy and prognostic indicators of SRT in dogs with sinonasal tumors and to quantify acute and late radiation morbidities.

Animals

One hundred and eighty-two client-owned dogs with sinonasal tumors diagnosed cytologically, histologically, or radiographically that underwent SRT.

Methods

Single-arm retrospective study by reviewing medical records of dogs treated with SRT (10 Gy × 3) between 2010 and 2015. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to determine overall survival (OST; from the first day of SRT to death by any cause)
