Summary
This study reports the first canine case of an intracranial granular cell tumor (GCT) treated with stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT). While SRT initially resolved symptoms and reduced tumor volume, progressive microbleeds led to neurological decline.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Neurology
- Radiation Oncology
- Canine Pathology
Background:
- Intracranial granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare in dogs.
- Limited treatment options exist for canine brain tumors.
- Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is an advanced treatment modality.
