Veterinary Oncology The team at MARS redefines vet cancer care by challenging the disease at every step. We never pause, and we never settle.

Specialist Vet Cancer Care for Dogs and Cats

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, the MARS team is here for you! Up to one-third of cats are also affected by the disease.

MARS provides 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 targeted cancer therapies and optimising existing ones. 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 your leading Melbourne animal cancer care provider, we will carefully discuss radiotherapy wherever indicated and collaborate with trusted external centres to tailor the best treatment plan for each pet. There is no megavoltage radiation unit in Victoria.
