Oral Cavity Tumors
The oral cavity is the fourth most common location for canine and feline cancer. Approximately 50% of oral tumors are malignant. Radiation therapy is an important method of treating feline and canine malignant oral tumors and is often combined with surgery or chemotherapy. The remaining 50% of canine oral lesions are benign, but can be locally invasive into bone such as acanthomatous epuli. Although surgery alone can control these benign lesions, radiation is also effective and should be considered when the extent of surgery needed for control would alter function or be too disfiguring.
