The approach to the treatment of cancer in veterinary patients is constantly evolving. Whenever possible and practical, surgery is pursued because it provides the greatest opportunity for tumor control and may result in a cure. Other cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, are commonplace in veterinary medicine, and the data outlining treatment regimens are growing rapidly. An absence of treatment options for veterinary cancer patients, however, has historically existed for some tumors. Interventional oncology options have opened the door to the potential for better therapeutic response and improved patient quality of life.
兽医患者癌症的治疗方法一直在不断发展。只要有可能且切实可行,就会采用手术治疗,因为手术提供了控制肿瘤的最大机会,并且可能治愈疾病。其他癌症治疗方法,如化疗和放疗,在兽医学中很常见,而且概述治疗方案的数据正在迅速增加。然而,对于某些肿瘤,兽医癌症患者一直以来都缺乏治疗选择。介入肿瘤学方法为获得更好的治疗反应和提高患者生活质量带来了可能性。
