What to know about
Medical Oncology at Thrive Pet Healthcare Specialists
Cancer is a scary diagnosis, and options may feel limited. Our medical oncologists have the most up-to-date information to educate and guide pet owners on how to treat and manage different types of cancer. They can answer questions on prognosis, life expectancy, and how to best maximize quality of life. Our goal is to achieve remission, slow cancer growth, and prevent local recurrence of cancer.
Cancer treatment in dogs and cats is well tolerated when compared to humans. Less than 10% of pets have side effects and most won’t lose their hair.
Forms of medical oncology treatment can include:
Chemotherapy
Precision medicine
Targeted therapy
Tumor vaccines
Immunotherapy
