Primary brain tumors in two dogs were surgically removed followed by postoperative radiation therapy. The two tumors were confirmed histologically to be astrocytoma and meningioma, respectively. After the surgery, the neurological status of each dog improved dramatically and a total dose of 40 Gy was delivered to the surgical site to treat residual tumor tissue. Although the dog with astrocytoma died 6 months after surgery due to unknown causes, the dog with meningioma has lived for over 24 months with a degree of neurological disorder less severe than that before treatment. These results suggested the effectiveness of this type of therapy on brain tumor in dogs and therapeutic modality should be positively planned to treat canine brain tumors.
两只患有原发性脑肿瘤的犬接受了手术切除，随后进行了术后放射治疗。经组织学确认，这两个肿瘤分别为星形细胞瘤和脑膜瘤。手术后，每只犬的神经状态都有显著改善，手术部位接受了40 Gy的总剂量照射以治疗残留的肿瘤组织。尽管患有星形细胞瘤的犬在术后6个月因不明原因死亡，但患有脑膜瘤的犬已存活超过24个月，神经功能障碍程度比治疗前轻。这些结果表明这种治疗方法对犬脑肿瘤有效，应积极规划治疗方式以治疗犬脑肿瘤。
