Non-Invasive Dog Cancer Treatment
Treating Canine Cancer at Cloverleaf Animal Clinic
For dogs diagnosed with mast cell tumors, a common and potentially life-threatening form of cancer, we are proud to offer a revolutionary treatment option at Cloverleaf Animal Clinic: STELFONTA®. This FDA-approved innovative therapy provides new hope for dogs and their families, offering a less invasive, targeted approach compared to traditional cancer treatments for dogs like surgery or chemotherapy.
How STELFONTA® Works to Treat Your Dog’s Tumor
STELFONTA® is a unique injectable solution designed to directly target and destroy mast cell tumors. The active ingredient in STELFONTA® injections is tigilanol tiglate. This powerful substance works by rapidly disintegrating the tumor’s blood supply, leading to the immediate destruction of tumor cells. Within days of treatment, the tumor site begins to break down, and in most cases, it is completely eliminated within a few weeks. Unlike traditional surgery, which often requires extensive tissue removal and can be invasive, STELFONTA® allows for a precise, localized attack on your dog’s mast tumor, preserving surrounding healthy tissue and reducing the need for complex surgical procedures.
Please note that STELFONTA® is specifically designed to treat mast cell tumors in dogs. These injections are effective for non-metastatic, localized tumors that are less than 10 cm in size and easily accessible on the skin for injection.
STELFONTA® vs. Traditional Cancer Treatments for Dogs
One of the primary advantages of STELFONTA® is its minimally invasive nature. Unlike surgery, which can be stressful and painful for both pets and owners, STELFONTA® requires only a simple injection or two at the tumor site. This method significantly reduces recovery time, as there are no surgical wounds to heal, and minimizes the risks associated with anesthesia. Because STELFONTA® specifically targets tumor cells, it spares your pet from the systemic side effects often seen with chemotherapy, such as nausea, hair loss, and immune suppression. STELFONTA® also offers a more affordable treatment option compared to prolonged courses of chemotherapy or radiation, making it accessible to more pet owners who are concerned about both the well-being of their dogs and the financial implications of cancer treatment.
At Cloverleaf Animal Clinic, we believe that every pet deserves access to cutting-edge tumor removal for dogs like STELFONTA®. By choosing this alternative treatment to chemotherapy or surgery, you are not only providing your dog with a less invasive and more targeted treatment than traditional methods, but you are also embracing a holistic approach that prioritizes your pet’s comfort and quality of life. Our dedicated team is here to guide you through every step of the treatment process, from initial diagnosis to post-treatment care, ensuring that your dog receives the compassionate and effective care they deserve.
