Advancing Pet Cancer Treatment Through Use of Pet Cancer Therapeutics

Pet cancer therapeutics are different from those used on humans. Pets do not have the same metabolism, so the drugs must be formulated for their needs. Chemotherapy drugs, for example, are designed to control the spread of cancer. Chemotherapy is often used in cases where surgery cannot completely remove the tumor and chemotherapy is used to fight cancer cells that have already spread.

The global Pet Cancer Therapeutics Market was valued at US$ 183.3 million in 2017 and is expected to witness a robust CAGR of 7.7% over the forecast period (2017 - 2025).

While chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery are commonly used in treating cancer in humans, the goal of these treatments is to treat the symptoms of the disease and improve the quality of life for pet. Surgery is an option if pet's tumor is inaccessible or interfering with the animal's normal body function. If surgery is not an option, the veterinarian may suggest other treatment options for pet. This method is most successful in treating localized tumors, but it may be less effective in large tumors or those that have spread. Historically, the only drugs available as a pet cancer therapeutics were those approved for use on humans. However, advances in immunotherapy and targeted therapies have allowed veterinary drug sponsors to bring treatments specifically for pets

Another option for treating cancer in pets is internal radiation therapy. Pets can undergo radiation therapy through an implanted radioactive substance. This method, called brachytherapy, requires precision and accuracy in administering the treatment. The implanted radioactive substance is only effective in treating tumors and is not recommended in healthy parts of the body. Despite its difficulty, however, implantable radiation sources are being developed and are likely to increase the use of brachytherapy.

Aside from the benefits of having a pet during a cancer diagnosis, pets can help pets cope with the stress and emotional turmoil that can accompany the disease. Animals are versatile and can fill a variety of roles, each with their own set of benefits and challenges.
