PetCure Oncology at VRIC Highlights Pet Heroes for National Pet Cancer Awareness Month

Cancer is the leading cause of death in older dogs and cats

CLIFTON, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sandy Mainardi was devastated when Baci, her 13-year-old dog, began
experiencing seizures, slipped into a coma, and was eventually diagnosed
with a brain tumor. The prognosis was bleak.

Now, just 10 months later, the resident of Lincoln Park, New Jersey has
seen her beloved Toy Poodle go through a remarkable turnaround. Thanks
to an emerging new cancer treatment called stereotactic
radiosurgery
(SRS), Baci is back to running, jumping and even
winning first-place in his class at the World
Cynosport Rally Limited
(WCRL) competition.

November is Pet
Cancer Awareness Month
, the perfect time to cheer those currently
battling cancer, celebrate those who have survived, and pay tribute to
those who have passed on. This year, it is also a perfect opportunity to
spread the word about SRS, a treatment delivered with the intent to cure
that is emerging as a leading treatment option in veterinary oncology.

Already widely used in human cancer treatment, SRS is an advanced form
of radiation therapy that offers tremendous benefits. SRS is a
non-invasive, non-surgical treatment that delivers high doses of
radiation with sub-millimeter precision to maximize damage to tumorous
tissue while minimizing collateral damage to nearby healthy tissue. As a
result, SRS requires only 1-3 treatment sessions – an 80-95% reduction
compared to conventional radiation therapy – and significantly reduces
both the severity and duration of side effects.

As Mainardi learned, the conversation surrounding cancer care for pets
is changing for the better – and fast. The groundbreaking new treatment,
provided by PetCure
Oncology at Veterinary Radiosurgery & Imaging Center
(VRIC) in
Clifton, NJ, was a life-changing experience for her family.

“Being back
in the ring competing with Baci
is indescribable,” she said. “You
have no idea what a gift this is for me. He is back to his old ‘young’
self again.” Now, Baci is also a PetCure
Pet Hero
.

PetCure
Oncology
is revolutionizing cancer care for pets by partnering with
established veterinary specialty practices and establishing a national
network of centers that specialize in the delivery of advanced radiation
therapy and SRS. Centers in Phoenix,
Cincinnati,

NJ
