Abstract

This review explores the intricate connection between pet nutrition and sophisticated medical treatments in veterinary oncology, focusing particularly on radiation and nuclear medicine. It emphasizes the combined benefits of providing dogs with optimal nutrition to improve the effectiveness of therapy, reduce side effects, and enhance their overall health during these therapies. The review highlights the significance of customized nutritional support in managing the metabolic challenges posed by tumor growth and the adverse effects of treatment, as well as its contribution to enhancing diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic efficacy of nuclear medicine. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and continuous research endeavors to promote evidence-based nutritional programs and customized treatment methods in veterinary oncology. In summary, this review underscores the crucial role of pet nutrition in the comprehensive treatment of cancer patients, working synergistically with radiotherapy and nuclear medicine to enhance the quality of care and well-being of companion animals.
