Is radiotherapy available for horses?

can be placed onto the surface of the tumour causing damage to the cells. However the radiation cannot penetrate very deep into the tissue. And therefore can only be used for small superficial masses usually less than 3mm in depth. Suitable tumours include those affecting the structures around the eyes. For larger tumours Iridium192 can be used in the form of wire implants which are left in the tumour for a period of time and then once the correct dose of treatment has been achieved they are removed. The length of time that the implants stay in place will depend on the size and type of tumour as well as the number and the placement of the implants. While the horse has these implants in place they must be isolated to prevent radiation exposure to people and other horses.

Another form of brachytherapy called high dose rate HDR brachytherapy involves the placement of a number of catheters into the tumour. Iridium192 is then inserted through the catheters into the tumour. The process targets a specific area in the tumour and can be performed remotely reducing the risk to the handlers.
How successful is treatment?
Radiotherapy has an excellent longterm success rate. It should be the first choice for the treatment of tumours around the horses eye. But it can also be used to treat tumours on other areas of the horse if required.

What are the downsides of the treatment?
Unfortunately the costs associated with radioactive treatment can be prohibitive. Not only is the treatment expensive but handling it comes with health risks and therefore extra protective measures need to be put in place. Some horses will need to be under general anaesthetic for the treatment to be performed or hospitalised for periods of time during or following treatment which also results in extra

costs. Due to the special equipment and facilities required there are not many veterinary hospitals that offer the treatment so there can also be a long wait time before treatment can be performed.
