Factors potentially influencing resolution of clinical signs and survival after PRT were evaluated. Clinical signs completely resolved in 66% of dogs for a median of 120 days. The overall median survival time was 146 days. Duration of response to PRT was shorter in dogs that had clinical signs for <90 days before PRT. Survival times were shorter in dogs that had partial or no resolution of clinical signs after PRT than in dogs that had complete resolution of clinical signs.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN ANIMAL HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION}, author={Gieger, Tracy and Rassnick, Kenneth and Siegel, Sheri and Proulx, David and Bergman, Philip and Anderson, Christine and LaDue, Tracy and Smith, Annette and Northrup, Nicole and Roberts, Royce}, year={2008}, pages={116–123} }

However, optimal fractionation schedules have not been established. The high rate of regional and distant metastasis is another problem that has hindered long‐term control. The role of chemotherapy in the management of canine oral melanoma has also not been determined. In this study, data from 140 dogs irradiated at North Carolina State University were evaluated with the following objectives: (1) to compare the efficacy of three radiation therapy protocols (36 Gy, 9 Gy × 4 fractions; 30 Gy, 10 Gy × 3 fractions; or >45 Gy, 2–4 Gy × 12–19 fractions) for the treatment of dogs with oral malignant melanoma, (2) to identify any host or tumor factors influencing prognosis, and (3) to determine the impact of systemic chemotherapy on treatment outcome. Information regarding response to therapy, disease progression, and survival were determined from the medical records or from information obtained by telephone or mail survey. Relationships between host, tumor, and treatment variables and outcome measures (response, time to first event, and survival) were evaluated using Fisher's exact test (response) and the Cox regression model (time to first event and survival). The median time to first event for the 140 dogs was 5.0 months (95% C.I., 4–6 months) and the median survival was 7.0 months (95% C.I., 6–9 months). In the univariate analysis, the following variables were associated with increased time to first event and survival: (1) rostral tumor sublocation; (2) lack of bone lysis observed on skull imaging, and (3) microscopic tumor burden. In a multivariate analysis of 111 dogs with complete data for these variables, tumor sublocation, bone lysis, and tumor volume were identified as joint predictors of time to first event (p<.001,p<.001, andp= .04, respectively) and survival (p<.001,p<.001, andp= 05, respectively). There were no differences in response, time to first event and survival between the three radiation therapy protocols used. Systemic chemotherapy had no impact on the development of metastatic disease, time to first event, or survival, although the dosages used in this study were suboptimal. External beam radiation therapy is effective in local disease control of canine oral malignant melanoma; however, the optimal fractionation scheme has yet to be determined. The high metastatic rate observed with this disease and the inefficacy of systemic chemotherapy indicate that further investigation into novel therapies is warranted.}, number={3}, journal={VETERINARY RADIOLOGY & ULTRASOUND}, author={Proulx, DR and Ruslander, DM and Dodge, RK and Hauck, ML and Williams, LE and Horn, B and Price, GS and Thrall, DE}, year={2003}, pages={352–359} }
