The role of radiotherapy in the treatment of lymphoma and thymoma.
Chemotherapy is the mainstay of therapy for the treatment of lymphoma in dogs and cats. Radiation therapy can be utilized in the management of patients with solitary lymphoma and to induce a rapid local response in selected patients with multicentric lymphoma. A combination of surgery and radiation therapy can offer an excellent prognosis for cats with thymoma. Radiation therapy can also play a role in the management of dogs with thymoma.
