The term radiation therapy refers to the use of directed energy (i.e. radiation) to kill cancer cells. The radiation most frequently used to treat tumors in dogs and cats is photon radiation. The properties of photon radiation used for cancer treatment are very similar to the properties of radiation used to create a diagnostic image (for example, an x-ray to evaluate a broken bone). However, therapeutic radiation is much higher energy, which means different tissue penetration and damage.
When your pet needs care, our highly trained specialists are here to help.
