Oncology

If a general practice veterinarian suspects that a pet has cancer, the advice of a veterinary oncologist will likely be sought to determine the most appropriate course of treatment and coordinate the treatment program either on a consultative or a referral basis.

BrightHeart endorses the belief that the single greatest key to disease management and possible cure is early detection. Armed with advanced diagnostic tools and treatment protocols ranging from surgery to chemotherapy to radiation therapy, veterinary specialists who are board certified in internal medicine and have gained further accreditation in oncology can offer pets the best chance of survival with the highest possible quality of life.

Some of the cancers addressed by these highly trained specialists are:

• Common Cancers
• Skin tumors
• Mammary tumors
• Lymphosarcoma
• Endocrine tumors
• Osteosarcoma
• Hemangiosarcoma
