Oncology

VHC Oncology Header

Welcome to the MU Veterinary Health Center Oncology Service.

Our mission is to provide state-of-the-art, compassionate cancer care for animals and to teach veterinary students, interns and residents about safe and proper diagnostics and treatments. In addition, we strive to advance evidence-based cancer medicine among all species with an emphasis in our research on comparative medicine. We believe a team approach is crucial when treating pets with cancer. We partner with your veterinarian to provide the best care for your pet. We hope that you will choose us to be a part of your pet’s team.

While we cannot provide medical consultation or recommendations over the Internet or by phone for animals we have not seen, we hope this site will answer some initial questions for people whose pets are diagnosed with cancer. Now, more than ever, treatments available for cancer increase constantly. Cancer treatments are typically well-tolerated, and we strive to maintain an excellent quality of life for each pet we treat. Our first and most important job is to offer options and then to help pet owners choose the option that best fits their pet, their life and their goals.
