Radiation therapy has many indications in veterinary oncology and allows a multidisciplinary approach for the treatment of canine and feline patients. Radiation therapy can be recommended as a sole therapy in case of radiosensitive tumors or can be associated to surgery and/or chemotherapy after marginal excision for example. It can also be recommended as a palliative treatment for patients with an inoperable or painful tumor or disseminated disease. Radiation therapy significantly improves the quality of life and survival time of treated animals and should be part of the therapeutic modalities in veterinary medicine. The University of Liège developed the first veterinary center of radiation therapy in Belgium and can therefore participate in improving therapeutic management of cancerous animal patients.
放射治疗在兽医肿瘤学中有许多适应症，并且为犬猫患者的治疗提供了多学科方法。对于放射敏感肿瘤，放射治疗可作为单一疗法推荐使用，或者例如在边缘切除后可与手术和/或化疗联合使用。对于患有无法手术或疼痛性肿瘤或播散性疾病的患者，放射治疗也可作为姑息治疗推荐使用。放射治疗显著提高了接受治疗动物的生活质量和生存时间，应成为兽医学治疗方式的一部分。列日大学在比利时建立了首个兽医放射治疗中心，因此能够参与改善患癌动物患者的治疗管理。
