Cancer Therapies

Cancer Therapies

Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Area of Science:

Veterinary Oncology
Radiation Oncology

Background:

Radiotherapy is a key option for equine tumors with high recurrence rates.
It's crucial when surgical resection risks damaging vital structures in horses.

Purpose of the Study:

To review radiotherapy techniques, radiobiology, and management for equine tumors.
To focus on linear accelerator-based teletherapy in horses.

Main Methods:

Review of teletherapy, brachytherapy, and plesiotherapy in equine cancer treatment.
Focus on radiobiology, treatment protocols, side effects, and patient management for teletherapy.

Main Results:

Successful application of various radiotherapy modalities for diverse equine tumors.
Good success rates reported for periocular sarcoids and squamous cell carcinoma using teletherapy.

Conclusions:

Radiotherapy is a viable treatment for equine tumors, particularly recurrent or surgically challenging ones.
Teletherapy, especially from linear accelerators, is effective for specific equine tumors but often limited to the head and distal extremities.
