Abstract
The records of 22 dogs treated with postoperative radiation therapy for hemangiopericytomas were retrospectively reviewed to determine which factors affected survival. Based on analysis with the logrank statistics, two factors were significant (p≤5.05): limb (front vs hind) and portal size. Tumor‐free interval ranged from 1.5–55 months, with 40.9% of the dogs tumor‐free at 24 months. Survival ranged from 2.5–55 months, with 40% of the dogs dead due to tumor recurrence or tumor‐related causes.
