What to Expect
If your veterinarian provides an unconfirmed diagnosis of cancer in your pet, have him or her call our hospital and discuss your pet’s case with the Medical Oncologist and to set up a consult. Your veterinarian will need to provide you with copies of your pet's records and any existing imaging (if applicable) prior to your appointment. During your appointment, the Medical Oncologist witll examine and refer to or discuss with the Integrated Oncology team to determine if any additional diagnostic imaging and testing may be warranted. If additional imaging and testing are necessary, your Medical Oncologist will provide the details and discuss available treatment options. Your pet may also qualify for one our clinical trials, which your Medical Oncologist will help identify, as well as discuss with you the benefits of having your pet participating in a trial.
