Leiomyosarcoma - Dog

Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant smooth muscle tumor that can occur in various internal organs, including the gastrointestinal tract and blood vessels. Symptoms depend on the location but often involve abdominal pain, weight loss, and digestive issues. Diagnosis is made through imaging and biopsy. Treatment typically involves surgery to remove the tumor, with chemotherapy or radiation as adjunct therapies. The prognosis depends on the tumor's location, stage, and whether it has spread, with early detection improving the likelihood of successful treatment.
