Oncology

A cancer diagnosis can be frightening — but with the right care, many pets can enjoy a good quality of life and, in some cases, full recovery. At Gundaroo Veterinary Centre, we provide comprehensive oncology services for dogs, cats, and small animals, combining advanced diagnostics with experienced surgical and medical care.

Whether your pet needs a lump investigated, a tumour removed, or ongoing cancer management, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Our Veterinary Oncology Services

We offer a full range of diagnostic and treatment options for pets with suspected or confirmed cancer, including:

  • Fine needle aspirates and biopsies for mass diagnosis

  • Advanced imaging (CT, X-ray, ultrasound) to evaluate tumour size and spread

  • Surgical tumour removal, including skin masses, internal organ tumours, and bone lesions

  • Histopathology to determine cancer type and stage

  • Post-surgical monitoring and follow-up care

  • Referral to specialist oncologists for chemotherapy or radiation therapy when needed

Common Cancers We Diagnose and Treat

  • Mast cell tumours

  • Soft tissue sarcomas

  • Lymphoma and leukaemia

  • Oral tumours

  • Bone cancer (osteosarcoma)

  • Skin tumours (including melanomas and squamous cell carcinomas)

  • Abdominal or thoracic tumours (liver, spleen, lungs)

Some cancers are slow-growing and manageable, while others may require urgent intervention. We provide honest, compassionate advice to help you understand your pet’s condition and options.
