About us
Any diagnosis of cancer is upsetting, of course. With modern treatment methods, many tumors can be cured or managed over the long term.
It is important to us that we can offer our patients the optimal treatment for their disease that best fits their individual situation. A good quality of life during and after treatment is our focus.
We are a team of veterinarians who specialize or are working towards specializations in in the various fields of oncology (cancer treatment). Together with our practice assistants, we provide close, personal support to you and your pet during and after treatment. We guarantee that our patients are treated according to the latest scientific findings and with the latest technology. A team of physicists and radiographers support our work in radiotherapy.
We offer consulting, testing, and treatment for animals with suspected cases of cancer. If treatment is possible, this may involve surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy, depending on the situation. A combination of treatments is frequently selected. We work closely with the referring veterinarian and our hospital offers a high degree of specialization in all disciplines to ensure the best care for our patients.
Clinical research is an important part of our commitment to advancing our knowledge and often we can offer our patients new treatment options while also gaining valuable insights into the fight against cancer. However, we will only ever provide treatments to which you give your consent.
