Advanced cancer care to help your pet live a longer and better life.
We understand that seeing your pet experience unusual symptoms or act out of the ordinary can be stressful – especially if you don’t know what’s wrong. Fortunately, our veterinary oncology team is made up of experts in diagnosing and treating cancer, and we’re here to help.
Our commitment is not just to treat illnesses; it’s to enhance the well-being of your pet and be with you every step of the way.
If your pet has cancer, you’ll have an entire oncology team helping to improve your pet’s quality of life so you can get back to what matters most – spending precious moments together.
Your pet will receive unparalleled medical care during their time at the hospital (and they’ll be spoiled with love and attention, too).
Your pet can’t tell us what’s wrong, so we use sophisticated diagnostics and imaging tools to uncover the source of the problem.
Just as no two patients are the same, neither are their treatment plans. Our oncology team has experience with a range of advanced procedures and minimally invasive options to get your pet on the path to wellness, including:
Experience makes all the difference.
Our oncology team is made up of veterinarians, vet technicians and assistants, and support staff with rigorous training and experience in specialty medicine. The team works hand in hand to provide the comprehensive, compassionate care your pet needs and deserves. Because we’re a multidisciplinary hospital, the team can consult the expertise of other specialty departments, too.
Dr. Sarah Broom enjoys treating all pets with cancer and teaming up with owners to improve or maintain a pet’s quality of life for as long as possible. She finds treating lymphoma patients to be especially rewarding because she and her team are able to help them feel like themselves again for multiple months.
Dr. Broom considers herself a basset hound enthusiast and has two who she competes with in dog shows from time to time. She also has a three-legged cat, who she rescued while in veterinary school. Dr. Broom is happy to be back home in western Washington, where she enjoys spending time with her family and significant other, exploring the outdoors, and visiting breweries, wineries and local restaurants.
Dr. Sharon Shor is dedicated to compassionate care for pets with cancer. His main focus is on educating clients about their pet’s disease and finding treatment options that best suit the pet and their owner.
Cancers commonly seen at the clinic include lymphoma in dogs and cats, mast cell tumors, soft tissue sarcomas, bone osteosarcoma and other bone tumors, bladder and prostate tumors, intestinal and anal gland tumors, nasal and oral tumors, and thyroid and lung carcinomas.
The oncology service uses diagnostic tools such as radiographs, ultrasound (abdomen, chest and neck), CT scans and tissue biopsies.
Treatments offered include chemotherapy, Palladia and other small molecule inhibitors; electrochemotherapy for incompletely excised tumors as well as small, non-surgical tumors in dogs and cats (unique for the South Sound area); ELIAS immunotherapy for bone osteosarcoma, and Stelfonta treatment for mast cell tumors, both used in dogs.
Dr. Shor spends his free time with his wife and two children hiking, traveling and photographing the pacific northwest. Their pets include two cats, Duncan and Simon, both adopted from foster homes.
