Typical signalment and history is older, large breed dogs with progressive lameness. Diagnosis usually starts with radiographs, but biopsy is required for confirmation. The gold standard treatment is amputation followed up with chemotherapy, which gives a median survival time of 1 year. As bone cancer is very painful, analgesic drugs are also important for these patients.
