The most common treatments for cancer are surgical removal, radiation and tumor-killing drugs. Type of method depends on the type of tumor, whether it has or is likely to metastasize, and how far it has progressed. But it also depends on the age of the dog, the type of cancer, severity of the cancer, and progression of the cancer.
