Oncologie

Our oncology service works in close collaboration with the other departments of the DMV Veterinary Centers. This collaboration ensures appropriate diagnostics and the best possible care for all our patients. The indications for referring a patient in oncology are not limited to confirmed cases of cancer, but also include cases leading to suspicion of underlying neoplastic problems.

Costs associated with diagnosis, extension assessment and treatments will vary according to each patient and its particular medical condition(s). Most importantly, any decision to undertake oncology diagnostics or treatments will always be based on clear, detailed information provided by our oncologists, and tailored to the owner’s expectations. There are many ways to approach every cancer case. When a curative option is unfortunately not available, one or several palliative options will be discussed. Our patients’ quality of life will always take precedence in any of our recommendations.

Diagnostic procedures available at the DMV Veterinary Centers’ oncology services include, among others, cytology or biopsy of various tumors, lymph nodes or bone marrow, imaging modalities such as X-rays, ultrasound or scanner, as well as various molecular and genetic tests. Treatment options available include chemotherapy and targeted therapies, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, alternative medicines, and palliative care.
