Our team may recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blood work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digital radiography<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ultrasound<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Endoscopy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aspiration or biopsy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After diagnosis, your veterinarian will recommend various treatment options. These depend on the kind of cancer, stage, your cat&#8217;s age and other factors. For PetMD, Dr. Joshua Lachowicz, DVM, DACVIM (Oncology) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petmd.com\/cat\/conditions\/cancer\/cancer-cats-symptoms-types-and-treatment-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">added<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;Cats tend to do very well with treatment across the board. They recover nicely from surgery if it\u2019s a surgical case. With radiation, the side effects in cats are much less severe in most cases. In chemotherapy they have mild side effects\u201490% of the time, they\u2019re going to have minimal-to-no side effects, and in the cases that they do have side effects, they\u2019re going to be mild. The ones that are going to be moderate are less than 10%&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reducing the Risk of Cancer in Cats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As your cats ages, the risk of cancer increases. Annual or semiannual wellness visits can help spot illnesses (including cancer) in their early stages. Here are some other risk factors that you can control:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Feed your cat a nutritious diet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promote exercise with toys and enrichment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide a low-stress environment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid second-hand smoke<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reach out to your veterinarian if you notice any troubling or unusual symptoms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gradyvet.com\/blog\/tag\/cat-health\/\">Cat Health Resources<\/a> for more guidance on caring for your cat.
