Just like people, pets can develop cancer. When a pet is diagnosed with cancer, the University of Wisconsin's veterinary oncology service offers the most cutting-edge, up-to-date cancer therapies available.
The caseload in the oncology service is 70% dogs and 30% cats. The oncology staff also consults on large animal and special species cases.
Wisconsin is a world leader in such advanced technologies as gene therapy, immunotherapy, and tumor vaccines. While some of the treatments offered are investigational, they offer hope and a chance for a better quality of life for animals with certain kinds of cancer. Owners are always informed of any pros and cons of available treatments, and no treatment is given without an owner's consent. An excellent quality of life is always the primary goal.
