Extended Lifespan

Treatments like surgery and chemotherapy can slow disease progression, giving pets more time to share special moments with their loved ones.

What Is Pet Cancer Therapy?

Pet cancer therapy involves a range of treatments designed to manage and combat cancer in animals. At Aurora Animal Hospital, we focus on two primary approaches: surgery and chemotherapy.

Surgery

This method aims to remove cancerous tumors and affected tissue, reducing the disease’s progression. Surgical intervention may be used as a standalone treatment or in combination with other therapies.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy uses medications to target and destroy cancer cells, helping to control the spread of the disease. It is often recommended for cancers that cannot be fully addressed through surgery alone.
