radiation therapist and two registered veterinary technicians devoted
exclusively to oncology. Patients may be hospitalized for the purpose
of receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy, although most of our
patients are treated on an out-patient basis. Current research areas

http://www.labbies.com/cancerintro.htm
Cancer in the Canine: Veterinary oncology, the study and treatment of
cancer in companion animals, has become a growing practice in recent
years. Prior to the last decade, veterinary options for therapeutic
management of cancer in the dog were limited, and prognosis for such
patients was often dismal. Today, new combinations of drugs
(chemotherapy), improvements in surgical techniques for removing
tumours, radiation therapy, and novel cancer-targeting drugs are
successfully prolonging and improving the quality of life of many dogs
diagnosed with neoplastic disease. This web site will take the reader
from early cellular events to risk factors leading to the development
of cancer, from the newest methods for detection and staging of
disease, to diagnosis of some of the more common cancers affecting the
canine, from conventional forms of therapy to new breakthroughs and
clinical trials with novel treatments aimed at eradicating these
malignancies in the dog.
