Abstract
Sixteen dogs with malignant neoplasms were treated with intraoperative radiation therapy after surgical debulking. Fractionated external beam radiation therapy was given postoperatively to 11 dogs. Healing of surgical incisions was uncomplicated in 14 dogs. When the ureters or urinary bladder were included in the irradiation field, they became stenotic and fibrotic. Urinary incontinence and secondary renal injury were common. Local tumor control was poor regardless of site or tumor type.
