Cancer is an increasingly common disease in dogs and cats, especially as life expectancy increases. Fortunately, veterinary medicine is evolving rapidly, offering new solutions to improve their quality of life. Located in Brussels, the Canis Felis veterinary clinic offers a specialised approach to oncology for dogs and cats, including innovative treatments such as electrochemotherapy.
Cancer in pets: a reality not to be ignored
As in humans, cancer in animals can take different forms: skin tumours, mammary cancers, lymphomas, melanomas, and many others. Certain signs should alert owners: abnormal lumps, weight loss, lethargy or difficulty eating. Early detection optimises the chances of treatment.
Treatments available in veterinary oncology
The treatment of cancer in dogs and cats depends on the type of tumour and how it progresses. Treatment options include :
● Surgery The procedure is often used to remove localised tumours.
● Chemotherapy Recommended for disseminated or aggressive cancers.
● Radiotherapy used to target specific cancer cells.
● Electrochemotherapy An innovative approach combining electricity and local chemotherapy.
Electrochemotherapy: an effective, minimally invasive solution
Electrochemotherapy is a method increasingly used in veterinary oncology. It involves administering a low dose of chemotherapy directly to the tumour, followed by electrical impulses that increase the permeability of the cancer cells. This optimises the effectiveness of the treatment while limiting side effects. This technique is particularly suitable for skin tumours or tumours that are difficult to treat surgically.
