Creators

Description

Records on 236 male beagles were reviewed for presence of testicular tumors. Among 37 dogs with tumors, 29 had interstitial cell tumors, 8 had Sertoli cell tumors, and 2 had seminomas. Average age at diagnosis was 8.31, 6.99, and 8.22, respectively, for the three types of tumors. Fifteen dogs had multiple tumors in one testicle or one or more tumors in both testicles. Testicular tumors were detected at earlier ages in dogs exposed to gamma radiation
