Abstract

Of 16 sarcoids in 12 adult horses which were treated with iridium-192 interstitial implants, 14 (87.5%) were in remission for at least 12 months and 13 (81.2%) were in remission for at least 24 months. Generally, normal tissue reactions were acceptable. These results further substantiate the benefits of radioactive brachytherapy for equine sarcoid.
