PETCURE ONCOLOGY LLC
DEERFIELD, IL

At the turn of the century, radiation therapy was extremely rare in veterinary medicine. When PetCure Oncology opened its first center fifteen years later, SRS for pets was still relatively limited in the veterinary community. As we began to offer new and innovative treatments, we realized that clinical education and public awareness for SRS were close to nonexistent. How could a veterinarian provide a pet owner with their full range of cancer care options if they simply didn’t know that SRS was available to pets? In every market, PetCure Oncology has a local program director that proactively reaches out to veterinarians and veterinary clinics, arranges “lunch and learns” for their staffs, organizes continuing education opportunities, and engages community groups. Their goal is to raise awareness for SRS and educate both professionals and pet owners about its benefits – including the potential to cure. The cancer journey can be even more problematic for those traveling from out of town for treatment at a PetCure Oncology center. We will do our best to make your trip as seamless as possible, providing efficient and effective treatment and minimizing your time on the road. Most can return home the same week. We also offer concierge-level service that can include helping you find pet-friendly airlines, hotel accommodations, restaurants and more. PetCure Oncology is about more than just treating cancer. We are about continually raising the standard of care to make sure that pets and their families always have access to the best medical options. Our goal is to revolutionize cancer care for pets. That is why we have quickly become a leader in the industry. PetCure Oncology was the: PetCure Oncology centers feature the best available technology operated by the most highly trained professionals available. Most centers deliver radiation therapy with a linear accelerator equipped with RapidArc® technology, enabling sub-millimeter precision, enhanced quality control and a continuous, efficient treatment. Treatment is overseen by our network of board-certified radiation oncologists and consulting specialists from a wide range of backgrounds and expertise. They work in collaboration with a compassionate team of human-licensed radiation therapists that are trained and experienced in the delivery of radiation therapy and the operation of advanced linear accelerators. Each location also employs a staff of licensed veterinary technicians. With the country’s largest network of centers offering SRS for pets, PetCure Oncology is in the unique position to collect data and aggregate outcomes as this advanced technology is integrated into veterinary medicine. That commitment to research is driven by our Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). The SAB consists of experts in human and veterinary radiation oncology as well as medical physics and biology. Its charge is to analyze the data in order to establish standards and protocols for delivering SRS to pets. PetCure Oncology and the SAB are dedicated to continually improving the standard of care and refining these protocols to optimize outcomes – and save more pets. PetCure Oncology was created in 2014 by the founders of Accelitech PetCure Oncology’s clinical operations are driven by a talented and experienced team of board-certified veterinary radiation oncologists. All treatment plans are created and reviewed by at least two members of PROS or the Scientific Advisory Board, regardless of where the patient is undergoing treatment. PROS clinicians also work hand-in-hand with the Scientific Advisory Board as members of its Clinical Protocols Committee.

( Now, for the first time, PetCure Oncology is providing precision cancer care that zeroes in and attacks tumors; including many tumors we couldn’t touch before. Because it offers unprecedented precision, we’re able to destroy the tumor with minimal damage to the healthy cells around it. In this procedure, the pet patient experiences no discomfort and the risks associated with treatment are minor. Compared to traditional radiation therapy, SRS/SRT provides an 80–95% reduction in both treatment sessions and anesthetic events. This helps optimize the patient’s safety, comfort and convenience.
