Our Veterinary Services
Medical oncology teams within our Thrive Pet Healthcare community work closely with referring and primary care veterinarians to provide advanced cancer treatment for pets. Your pet’s oncology team can perform a thorough evaluation, utilizing state-of-the-art diagnostics to gain a deep understanding of the disease behavior. From there, a personalized treatment plan will be determined to treat or manage your pet’s cancer.
Chemotherapy is a valuable form of treatment for many types of cancer in dogs and cats. Depending on the type of cancer, chemotherapy can be used alone, following surgery or radiation therapy, or as a palliative care option to alleviate symptoms.
There are several options for both the type of chemotherapy used and the way in which it is administered; the course of treatment is tailored to each patient and their caregiver’s situation.
Radiation therapy is an effective treatment option for cancer in pets, often used in conjunction with surgery and/or chemotherapy. This treatment uses a precisely focused beam of energy to eliminate cancer cells, while sparing the surrounding normal tissue.
There are a variety of options for radiation treatment, including Definitive Radiation Therapy, Palliative Radiation Therapy, Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT), Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT), Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), and Strontium-90 Plesiotherapy. A pet’s chosen therapy is decided based on several factors for which your oncology team will discuss.
Select hospitals partner with PetCure Oncology to help pets fight cancer with advanced technology, veterinary oncology specialists, and true compassion. Learn more about PetCure Oncology's radiation therapy offerings by visiting their website or calling 1-833-PET-HERO.
