Our oncology vet service is regarded as Victoria’s leading veterinary cancer centres led by a specialist veterinary oncologist, dedicated oncology nursing team, and oncology focused surgeons, offering advanced diagnostic methods and treatment options for pets battling cancer. According to the Veterinary Cancer Society, 1 in 4 dogs will develop cancer in their lifetime, making it the leading cause of death in dogs beyond middle age. If you are looking for a cancer specialist for dogs near you MARS team is here for you! Up to one-third of cats are also affected by the disease.
At MARS, we offer a comprehensive range of cutting-edge treatments for all types of cancer. This includes medical oncology, surgical oncology, and interventional oncology, or a combination of these approaches, to ensure the best possible outcome for our patients. We are at the forefront of animal cancer treatment in Victoria, introducing new and optimising old cancer therapies. For instance, we provide specialised care for conditions like dog spleen cancer, dog lung cancer, dog bone cancer, and osteosarcoma in cats as well as feline lung cancer. As a leading Melbourne animal cancer care provider, wherever radiotherapy is indicated, we will carefully discuss this option and collaborate with trusted external centres to tailor the best treatment plan for each pet; there is no megavoltage radiation unit in Victoria.
