A cancer diagnosis in a beloved pet can feel devastating. But it’s important to know that with advances in early detection and treatment, many cancers in pets today can be successfully treated—extending their lives, managing symptoms, and improving their quality of life.
Medical oncology involves diagnosing and treating cancer primarily using systemic therapies such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Veterinary medical oncologists, specialists with advanced training in treating cancer in pets, develop and administer these types of therapies. They also work in close collaboration with other specialists, such as surgeons and radiation oncologists, as well as your pet’s primary care veterinarian.
