A wide variety of tumours of the brain occur in the dog, most commonly in the Boxer breed. Tumours may arise from the subependymal plate which may influence the parts of the brain destroyed and hence the pattern of clinical signs. Because of the small capacity of the dog's skull, vital neurological structures are quickly destroyed and the time course of these events is much shorter than in man. The high incidence of tumours in the Boxer would suggest that this breed might afford a useful model for clinical treatment using, for instance, cytotoxic agents.
犬类会发生各种各样的脑部肿瘤,最常见于拳师犬品种。肿瘤可能起源于室管膜下板,这可能会影响脑部被破坏的部位,从而影响临床症状的表现形式。由于犬类颅骨空间较小,重要的神经结构会很快被破坏,这些情况的发展进程比人类要短得多。拳师犬中肿瘤的高发病率表明,该品种可能为使用细胞毒性药物等进行临床治疗提供一个有用的模型。
