Cancer

Diagnostic
Many methods are utilized to help with the diagnosis of cancer. Many times growths on the skin or other areas of the body are not a tumor or are a benign mass. However, there are few things scarier than when the growth turns out to be a malignant cancer.

Surgical Oncology
Removing tumors with surgery is often a way to cure certain types of cancer. Other times surgery is used to obtain a biopsy. While in some instances surgery is used in combination with chemotherapy and/or radiation. A diagnosis is needed to tell what combination is needed to give your pet the best outcome possible.

Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy can be one of the scariest words in medicine. All of us have known a friend or family member who has had to take chemotherapy. The good news is that dogs and cats tolerate chemotherapy much better than people do. Not all cancer types need chemotherapy. However, many cancers respond to chemotherapy and in certain types of cancer it is the only option for therapy.
