At Central Texas Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Hospital (CTVSEH), we offer innovative immunotherapy treatments that harness your pet’s own immune system to fight cancer and other diseases. This cutting-edge approach represents a promising advancement in veterinary oncology, providing new hope for pets with challenging diagnoses.
What is Immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy is a form of treatment that stimulates or restores the body’s natural defenses to detect and destroy cancer cells more effectively. Unlike traditional treatments, immunotherapy empowers your pet’s immune system to recognize and target abnormal cells, enhancing the body’s ability to combat disease.
Why Choose Immunotherapy at CTVSEH?
- Personalized care: Our veterinary oncologists tailor immunotherapy protocols based on your pet’s specific condition and immune response.
- Minimally invasive: Many immunotherapy treatments are less invasive and may have fewer side effects compared to chemotherapy or radiation.
- Complementary treatment: Immunotherapy can be used alone or alongside other treatments like chemotherapy or surgery for enhanced effectiveness.
- Advanced technology: We utilize the latest research and technologies in veterinary immunotherapy to provide the best care possible.
How Immunotherapy Works
Immunotherapy treatments vary but may include vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, or immune checkpoint inhibitors designed to boost your pet’s immune response. These therapies help the immune system identify cancer cells as threats and enhance its ability to attack and eliminate them.
What to Expect During Immunotherapy
Treatment plans are customized for each pet and may involve periodic injections, infusions, or oral medications. Side effects are generally mild and closely monitored by our oncology team. We prioritize your pet’s comfort and well-being throughout the process.
At CTVSEH, we are committed to providing the most advanced and compassionate cancer care available. If you’re interested in learning whether immunotherapy is right for your pet, contact us today to schedule a consultation with our veterinary oncology specialists.
