Veterinary Oncology
The Veterinary Oncology Department at LeadER (Cancer Care Group) knows that each patient presents with its own specific clinical scenario. Using the latest technology and clinical advances in veterinary oncology, we customize the best treatment plan for each individual patient allowing us to achieve the best possible outcome.
Nutritional Support

Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is a common treatment used for a variety of cancers in loved ones. The basis of chemotherapy is to damage the malignant cells’ DNA to promote death and prevent replication of those cells. There are different chemotherapy agents, and each of them has a specific mechanism of action to target the DNA in a certain way. Some agents are administered intravenously and some are given orally. Chemotherapy side effects in animals are not the same as we are used to seeing in humans, most loved ones tolerate chemotherapy well and in the cases where side effects are noted, they can be managed medically. Contact us for more information on chemotherapy with our Veterinary Oncology team and how it can help your loved one fight cancer.
Citokine Inhibitors
This is the latest in cancer therapy, similar to immunotherapy we use very specific cancer cells targets to alter their function and kill them. There are only a hundful of these drugs in veterinary medicine but the future looks very promising.
Electrochemotherapy
Electrochemotherapy is a new treatment option for local tumor control that delivers trains of electrical pulses to cancer cells to increase cell membrane permeability enabling better penetration of anti-cancer drugs. By increasing drug delivery we increase cell kill and are able to kill more tumor cells.
LeadER Vet is happy to partner with Dr. Joseph A. Impellizeri DVM, DACVIM (Oncology), MRCVS to provide these services.Â
