Another growing area of interest for Dr. Core is oncology, or cancer treatment.  ALL cancer patients can be helped in some way to live a better, more comfortable life.  Dr. Core is continually receiving education in this new field.  From diagnosis to surgery, chemotherapy, or pain management, Dr. Core believes that all pets should receive humane cancer treatment.  Even if the cancer cannot be cured, often times the patient's symptoms can be relieved, giving them quality of life.
