Millions of dogs and cats are diagnosed with cancer each year. Of those, only 1 in 10 pet parents seek a consultation with an oncologist. And with just 350 practicing veterinary oncologists in the United States, your options may be limited.

According to the National Cancer Institute, cancer incidence rates indicate that there are roughly 10 million new cancer diagnoses in dogs and a similar number in cats each year. Regular checkups help screen for cancer, or catch it in the early stages before it develops and spreads. Recognizing the signs and symptoms can be daunting, and the uncertainty surrounding the diagnosis can be overwhelming. It is essential to remember that early detection plays a crucial role in improving treatment outcomes. At Sun City Animal Hospital, we perform diagnostic tests, such as bloodwork, imaging, or biopsies, to aid in the detection and diagnosis of cancer.

Sun City Animal Hospital also prides itself on being able to offer cutting-edge treatment in the world of autologous cancer immunotherapy. By harnessing the power of pets’ immune systems, a whole-cell vaccine can be created by Torigen, representing a diverse sample of cancerous antigens for individualized immunotherapy treatments.
