Cryosurgery has been an integral part of cancer treatment at Smith Ridge
Veterinary Center for more than 25 years. Although developed here initially
for rectal fistulas, the application was successfully expanded to include a
wide variety of cancers in which conventional surgical techniques are not
possible or yield poor results. Cryosurgery may be the primary treatment, or
it may be used in conjunction with conventional surgery. When pet owners do
not feel that conventional treatment techniques such as amputation or
radiation are appropriate for their animals, or when conventional surgery is
not an option, cryosurgery, as employed by the Cryosurgery Referral Clinic,
offers a viable treatment choice for a variety of cancers, including oral,
rectal and nasal tumors and some cutaneous tumors.
