title: Radiation oncology of head and neck tumors.
abstract: Malignant tumors of the head and neck region occur commonly in veterinary medicine. Unfortunately, tumors in the head and neck can cause treatment dilemmas because many neoplastic entities at this site are locally aggressive. Additional local therapies such as radiation therapy are becoming commonplace as standardized therapies for many head and neck tumors in veterinary medicine.
