Plain-English summary
A study looked at 35 dogs with nasal tumors to see how the severity of the tumors affected their survival. The researchers used a scoring system to evaluate the tumors, finding that dogs with lower scores (less than 12) had longer periods without disease and better overall survival compared to those with higher scores. This suggests that early detection and treatment of nasal tumors could lead to better outcomes for dogs.

Abstract
A radiological assessment of 35 canine nasal tumours using an objective scoring system was carried out and related to patient survival. The scoring system demonstrated significant increases in disease-free interval and survival for dogs with scores of less than 12 compared to those with scores of 12 or above.
