Veterinary Oncology – Advanced care for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer

Introduction

Veterinary oncology plays an essential role in the diagnosis, treatment and management of cancers in companion animals. Some tumors can be diagnosed early, while others require a specialized approach to provide the best possible quality of life.

At CENTREDMVET, we use advanced technologies and a multidisciplinary approach to establish precise diagnoses and propose treatments tailored to each patient. Our expertise encompasses chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapies and palliative care, guaranteeing comprehensive, personalized care. Our specialized facilities include :

Advanced imaging tests (X-ray, ultrasound, CT scan): Tumor detection and assessment
Biopsies and cellular analyses: Precise identification of cancer types
Radiotherapy (Cobalt 60): Treatment to reduce or eliminate cancer cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissue
Targeted therapies and immunotherapy: Innovative approaches that exploit tumor-specific biological mechanisms to slow tumor progression or stimulate the animal’s immune system to better fight cancer

Interdisciplinary collaboration and personalized follow-up

Our oncologists work closely with radiologists, surgeons, internists and anesthesiologists to offer an integrated approach and ensure rigorous follow-up. This synergy enables each treatment protocol to be tailored to the animal’s specific needs, whether curative or palliative.

Whether for preventive screening, advanced diagnosis or a personalized treatment plan, our oncology department is available to accompany each patient with expertise and kindness.
