Radiation therapy is a targeted treatment that uses high-energy beams to shrink or destroy localized cancer cells. It is typically administered under anesthesia over multiple sessions, with the goal of targeting the tumor while minimizing harm to surrounding healthy tissue. Depending on the diagnosis, radiation therapy may be used alone or in combination with surgery or oral medications.
Radiation therapy can be an important part of treatment for certain types of brain and spinal tumors. Your neurologist will help determine whether a consultation with a radiation oncologist is recommended for your pet’s condition. While Neuro Vet does not offer radiation therapy, we’ve compiled a list of trusted veterinary radiation oncologists in Northern California whom we’ve worked with and confidently recommend. These are listed in order of proximity to our clinic.
