Brain tumours can be removed in some cases leading to symptomatic relief. The increased availability of MRIs has made the ability to diagnose, locate and subsequently treat brain tumours diseases more common.

 

NOAH offers pet CT scans and MRI scans to accurately locate and diagnose brain tumours, working out an efficient treatment plan to suit your pet and his/her requirements. The principal determinants of successful resection of brain tumours are location and biological classification i.e. benign or malignant. Slow growing meningioma are the best candidates for surgery and the prognosis can be satisfactory. Meningioma and gliomas can also be removed to relieve symptoms.

 

Neoplasia (cancer) is three times more common in dogs and cats than humans, but can be treated with a variety of methods when caught in time.

Along with our diagnostic procedures, we can help make the journey of pet cancer treatment a less stressful and more clear one for both you and your beloved pet.
