While traditional chemotherapy offers some effectiveness, its cure rate still leaves room for improvement. In recent years, the combination of Half Body Irradiation (HBI) with chemotherapy has marked a breakthrough in clinical oncology for dogs.<br \/>\ud83d\udd2c <strong>Key Research Findings: Median progression-free survival:<\/strong><br \/>\u2022 HBI + chemotherapy: 1,143 days<br \/>\u2022 Chemotherapy only: 316 days<br \/><br \/><strong>Median overall survival:<\/strong><br \/>\u2022 HBI + chemotherapy: 1,924 days<br \/>\u2022 Chemotherapy only: 566 days<br \/>Lymphocytes are highly sensitive to radiation, with up to 99% of cancer cells in the irradiated area being eliminated.<br \/><br \/>\ud83d\udca1<strong> Clinical Advantages:<\/strong><br \/>\u2705 Significantly prolongs progression-free survival<br \/>\u2705 Increases cure rate from traditional 10% to 35\u201340%<br \/>\u2705 Avoids damage to the hematopoietic system caused by full-body irradiation<br \/><br \/><strong>If lymphocytes are so sensitive to radiation, wouldn\u2019t full-body irradiation be even more effective?<\/strong><br \/>While full-body irradiation is theoretically possible, it requires bone marrow transplantation to restore hematopoietic function. Half Body Irradiation, on the other hand, delivers treatment in stages, balancing effectiveness with safety.<br \/><br \/>This therapy offers pet owners a new treatment option.
