Astrocytomas in Young Dogs

From the Veterinary Centers of America West Los Angeles Animal Hospital, 1818 South Sepulveda Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90025.

Address all correspondence to Dr. Kube.

Primary brain tumors are not commonly reported in young dogs; however, they are the second most common cancer in children. Astrocytomas are the majority of these tumors. This report presents three cases of astrocytomas in young dogs, indicating a possible higher incidence than what is currently held. When suspected, it is recommended that biopsy or surgical excision be performed to further characterize and grade the tumor and, if appropriate, guide treatment.
