State-of-the-art technologies and
multi-disciplinary approach provides effective treatment
In a promising development for pet cancer patients, VCA’s Pet
Cancer Alliance at Animal Diagnostic Clinic (ADC) now provides
specialized cancer treatment for pets in a caring and healing
environment. ADC’s team of board certified specialists uses a
multi-disciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment, much like
in human medicine.
ADC is one of the few hospitals in the country that has access
to the latest tools, including the innovative TrueBeam™
radiotherapy system, that offers a more targeted and effective
approach to treating cancer with image-guided radiotherapy.
Although the technology has been available in human medicine for
years, VCA is committed to bringing this technology into veterinary
medicine and working for future cures by participating in robust
clinical trials.
“When cancer strikes a family pet, our team of veterinary
specialists in radiation, surgery and medical oncology work with
each patient to develop individualized treatment options that can
provide the best outcomes,” said Zachary Wright, DVM, DACVIM
(Oncology). “Pets now have access to the latest state-of-the-art
technology that offers a range life-extending cancer treatment
provided by caring and compassionate veterinary oncologists.”
VCA’s James Custis, DVM, DACVIM (Oncology) explains, “The
TrueBeam was engineered to deliver more powerful cancer treatments
with pinpoint accuracy and precision. This technology makes it
possible to deliver treatments more safely and more quickly, while
monitoring and compensating for tumor motion. It opens the door to
new possibilities for the treatment of all tumor types that are
responsive to radiotherapy.”
For pets diagnosed with cancer, VCA’s Pet Cancer Alliance is at
the forefront of diagnosis and treatment, employing optimal
treatment for every type of cancer, which is a breakthrough that
can help bring a wider spectrum of optimal treatment for every type
of cancer.
