What is Oncology in Veterinary Medicine?

Oncology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In veterinary medicine, it is a subspecialty that plays a vital role in saving the lives of dogs and cats, both of which are species that often die from cancer.

How Advanced Veterinary Handles Cancer-Related Cases

We will conduct an initial evaluation on your pet to find out which type of cancer he or she is suffering from. This appointment includes reviewing your pet’s previous medical history and performing a full physical examination, and may also include additional diagnostic tests to determine the extent of the disease.

Once the initial work up of your pet has been completed, we will develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your pet’s condition. As mentioned earlier, the treatment plan may include one or all of the following – surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.

Surgery is often the recommended option for treating and removing localized cancer in pets. If it has been determined through the initial tests that the best approach is surgery, we will schedule a surgical procedure to remove the problem.

Before and after surgery, we will reduce the impact of surgery on your pet through medication.
