Introduction: Hemangiosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm of vascular endothelium occurring most frequently in older large breed dogs. Noncutaneous hemangiosarcoma is highly metastatic (>80% at diagnosis). Surgery is the primary method of treatment; however, even with adjuvant chemotherapy the prognosis...
Although there exist no immunocompetent mouse models of angiosarcoma with which to study immune-based approaches to therapy, angiosarcoma is a major killer of companion dogs, responsible for up to 2% of all canine deaths in some susceptible breeds or an estimated 120,000 per year in the US. ...
including better survival rates. This means that there are some dogs that will receive ahemangiosarcomadiagnosis and will live for a long period of time with the disease. With more research, treatment options are constantly improving.
The baseline characteristics of 15 dogs with splenic hemangiosarcoma enrolled in the study were equally distributed amongst the three treatment groups (25 mg/kg/day, 50 mg/kg/day, or 100 mg/kg/day) via randomization and are presented in Table2. In a double-blind (investigator and own...

Cutaneous hemangiosarcoma is a malignant neoplasia that frequently occurs in dogs. The most effective treatment requires wide surgical excision of the tumor. To avoid mutilating surgeries, photodynamic therapy (PDT) could serve as an alternative treatment. This study aimed to treat cutaneous hem...
Sixty-seven dogs with HSA in different anatomic locations were evaluated retrospectively. All dogs received the VAC protocol as an adjuvant to surgery (n = 50), neoadjuvant (n = 3), or as the sole treatment modality (n = 14). There was no significant difference (P = 0.97) between the ...
HAS is a common tumor type in dogs, but is rare in other species. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, and possibly radiation, but survival times are invariably short (usually < 1 year), except for patients with superficial dermal HSAs. Further options to treat this tumor type ...
Splenectomy is the definitive treatment for this disease. Improvement in symptoms is usually rapid and quality of life is improved. The good effect of chemotherapy on some other cancers in dogs raised hopes that drug therapy may also improve survival for dogs with hemangiosarcoma. With chemotherapy...
