Cancer in Pets

Conventional Treatments for Dogs and Cats with Cancer

Conventional Treatments

Most conventional cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, are based on the fact that malignant tumors have a higher rate of growth and the drugs work by interfering with the cell's DNA synthesis or function. Because healthy cells go through regular division, these conventional treatments have an increased incidence of side effects and a limited area of effectiveness and safety.

There are new classes of drugs that are being researched to mark the abnormal high dividing cells and therefore destroy only cancer cells.

Another conventional treatment is removing a tumor through surgery. This can be very effective unless the cancer cells have spread to a new area.

Many animals respond very well to conventional therapies but the related side effects, long term prognosis, quality of life and other health issues all need to be considered when looking at treatment options.

Holistic therapies are often used along with conventional treatments to reduce the toxic effects of chemo drugs and radiation. They help mobilize the immune system to support the body itself.

PetAlive C-Caps contain a combination of natural herbs known for their anti-tumor properties and their ability to optimize immune functioning.

For additional support, ask your veterinarian whether your pet would benefit from any of these products which support the immune system.

Immugen from Thorne Research

Immugen

Immugen's unique formula combines vitamins, minerals, amino acids, botanicals and other nutrients for optimal immune system functioning. This powerful formula contains the antioxidant vitamins A, C and E, Zinc, NAC, Thymus, Reishi Mushrooms, and the herbs Echinacea, and Astragalus which are known to help the immune system fight bacterial and viral infections as well as reduce inflammation. Scientific studies have found that astragalus restored the function of the immune cells of cancer patients. The extract also was found to have antitumor properties, inhibiting the growth of tumors in mice.

ModucareVET from Thorne Research

Moducare supports pets with cancer.

ModucareVET is a proprietary blend of plant sterols and sterolins. Sterols and sterolins have been shown to be important in helping to keep the immune system in balance and in keeping the body’s inflammatory response under control. Supplementation with sterols and sterolins helps maintain an optimum balance of these micronutrients and provides a natural means of supporting your pet’s defense system. This formula provides support for animals with cancer in that it enhances natural killer and T-helper cell activity.

Super EPA-VET from Thorne Research

Omega-3 Fatty acids

Super EPA-VET is a fish oil concentrate that is a superior source of Omega-3 fatty acids. Although more studies need to be done showing the effects of Omega-3s on reducing cancer risk, some have shown them to be beneficial in reducing and stopping the growth of tumors, as well as reducing skin damage from radiation treatment. Omega-3s are also beneficial in helping stop cancer cachexia (weight loss).
