Treatment of aggressive testicular tumors in four dogs.
In this report, the authors describe four dogs referred for diagnosis and treatment of unusual and aggressive testicular tumors. For the vast majority of dogs with testicular tumors, orchiectomy is curative. All dogs in this report had surgical resection, and three of four dogs were treated with cisplatin chemotherapy. Cisplatin is widely recognized as the most active agent in testicular cancer in human medicine.
