In the past decade we have seen a surge in cancer as a disease. From the ubiquitous Lipoma to the dreaded Sarcoma to the Sertoli cell tumor, we have seen a huge rise in all such cases. Call it the change in diet or the change in the environment, cancer is on the rise in our pets.
Well at our clinic we have a good success with both surgical oncology and cheamo-therapy. We have tried our best to be as aggressive as we can with our surgical techniques to minimize the needs of further treatments. We insist on getting biopsies done so that we can get the best prognosis for our patients.
It is wrong to assume that once a pet gets a tumor, his fate is sealed. Times have changed, so have treatment protocols. We have many a happy ending with tumors. Of course not all cases recover, but then nor do all humans with the Big C, make it, do they?
And lastly the costs involved in dog cheamo are much lower and affordable in comparison to humans. Add to the fact that dogs take chemo rather well, and have minimal side-effects, all make it a great option once surgery is over.
