Have there been advancements in the treatment of dog cancer? - The Drake Center
Yes, for sure, there have been. We now have even some injectable chemotherapeutic agents that we did not have before, specifically treating mast cell disease. And we learn more every day. I would say that maybe we're not quite as advanced as human medicine in treating cancers, but we're pretty advanced in our information that we have and our abilities to provide longer, higher-quality lives for dogs.

Have there been advancements in the treatment of dog cancer? - Animal Hospital of Statesville
Yes, there have been. We do chemotherapy as they do in humans and they do radiation therapy like they do in humans. There have been all kinds of neat immunotherapy or antibody therapy advancements where you have antibodies that can attack the tumors. There's been a lot of advancements in cancer that weren't available 20 years ago.
