Cypriot Scientists Investigate Non-Invasive Cancer Treatment for Pets

A pilot study by researchers from the Veterinary School of the University of Nicosia and the Cyprus University of Technology (TEPAK) is examining the effectiveness of Focused Ultrasound (FUS) technology for treating tumors in dogs and cats.

The research assessed the safety and effectiveness of FUS technology as an alternative to conventional methods for treating cancer in pets. The study involved 15 dogs and cats with various types of tumors.

The treatment proved safe for all animals, and the analysis of cancerous tissues confirmed that the ultrasound successfully destroyed the targeted areas of the tumors.

Dr. Kyriakos Spanoudis stated that the technology can be safely used to treat various types of tumors in dogs and cats, offering a shorter recovery time compared to conventional surgical methods.

The research team concluded that FUS technology is a promising therapeutic approach for treating cancerous tumors in animals.
