Medicine for dogs - oncology!

For human cancer is usually associated with the worst. Of course, cancer doesn’t have to mean a death sentence and because of increasingly advancing science and technology; detected in an early stage in the patient allows for complete recovery.

Basically, tumors can be divided into so-called benign tumors and malignant tumors. Differences between the two processes consists, inter alia, on the fact that non-malignant tumors grow relatively slowly and are often clearly demarcated from the surrounding tissue so connective capsule. Don’t metastasize to other organs, and their effect on the body is relatively limited, primarily because of the location, deformation and oppression. Of course, even benign brain tumor may be a direct threat to human life because of the location such as in a hard box gland.
