| Popis: | Summary An electronic form of interstitial brachytherapy was used to treat tumours on 3 different horses. One horse was treated for an ocular lymphoma, the second for a sarcoid, and the third for melanoma. This form of brachytherapy contains inherent advantages over previously used forms of brachytherapy and provides another treatment option for equine tumours that cannot be treated with, or do not respond to, conventional tumour therapies. |
