Plain-English summary
A dog with a grade II ilial chondrosarcoma (a type of bone cancer) underwent a surgical procedure called cranial internal hemipelvectomy to remove the affected part of the pelvis. After the surgery, the dog received radiation therapy to help prevent the cancer from returning. Remarkably, the dog lived for over three years after the surgery and passed away from an unrelated health issue. This treatment was well tolerated and showed promising results for managing this type of cancer in dogs.

Abstract
Cranial internal hemipelvectomy can be successful for excision of ilial CSA with minimal complications. Iliectomy with adjuvant radiation therapy was well tolerated in a dog with grade II ilial CSA. The dog survived 1,271 days postoperatively and supposedly succumbed to a disease process unrelated to the CSA.
