For Veterinary Surgeons

Specialist Referral Services

Oncology

Our Oncology Services are managed by the Internal Medicine team headed by Rob Foale, assisted by Simon Tappin and Jon Wray

Our comprehensive, multidisciplinary oncology service encompasses all aspects of modern cancer medicine, from the initial assessment, clinical disease staging (via, for example, comprehensive diagnostic imaging, cytology and bone marrow evaluation) and paraneoplastic complication consideration through to chemotherapy and/or comprehensive surgery, including intra-cavitary cytotoxic therapy administration where appropriate. When required, arrangements can be made for external beam radiation therapy.

In addition to our clinical work, we have several on-going scientific investigations in the field of small animal oncology, thereby endeavouring to advance our knowledge and bring further benefits to patients in the future.

We also run an out-patient Oncology Clinic for regular chemotherapy appointments, run by the Specialists and dedicated medical nurses and we are very happy to work in conjunction with referring veterinarians to help decide upon and administer appropriate chemotherapeutic regimes. We also always offer to make ourselves available to the clients and the referring veterinary surgeons at any point after the patient has been discharged should further advice or guidance be sought.
