Cat cancer treatment
in Florida —
precision radiation therapy.
Cats hide illness instinctively — which means cancer is often caught late. AARADONC is Florida's only center 100% dedicated to radiation oncology, offering board-certified expertise and advanced treatment options for the most common feline cancers.

At AARADONC, we are Florida's only center 100% dedicated to veterinary radiation oncology. Feline cancer is biologically distinct — radiation protocols for cats are designed around feline anatomy, tumor behavior, and the specific challenges of treating a species that conceals pain until disease is well advanced.
Every cat cancer treatment plan is built from scratch for that specific patient. Dr. DiBernardi personally reviews every case, bringing dual board certification in radiation oncology and medical oncology to each decision — so your cat's plan reflects the full clinical picture, not a standardized approach.
Our first conversation is always honest about prognosis and realistic expectations. Whether the goal is curative treatment or the best possible quality of life, we help you make the right decision — with full information and no pressure.
Common feline cancers
that respond to radiation.
Radiation therapy is highly effective for several of the most common cancers in cats. Below are the most frequent — along with the protocol typically recommended for each.
Adenocarcinomas and lymphomas of the nasal cavity are among the best-responding feline cancers. Radiation is the standard of care and can significantly extend survival and quality of life.
CFRT · Curative IntentMeningiomas are common in older cats and respond well to stereotactic radiation. SRS/SRT can significantly extend neurological function in a minimal number of sessions.
SRS/SRT · CFRTThe most common cancer in cats. Radiation combined with chemotherapy plays a critical role in localized lymphoma — particularly mediastinal, nasal, and spinal forms.
CFRT · PalliativeInjection-site sarcomas are aggressive and prone to local recurrence. Radiation therapy is a key component of the multimodal standard of care and significantly reduces recurrence rates.
CFRT · PalliativeOral and nasal SCC in cats responds well to radiation, especially when surgery alone is not feasible. Radiation can achieve meaningful local control and symptom relief.
CFRT · PalliativeFeline mammary carcinomas are often aggressive and high-grade. Radiation therapy as part of a multimodal approach can reduce local recurrence and extend remission in appropriately selected cases.
CFRT
The right protocol for
your cat's cancer.
Protocol selection is made by our Radiation Oncologist after a full case review — cancer type, location, staging, and your goals. Every cat's plan is different.
Gold standard for nasal tumors, localized lymphoma, and vaccine-site sarcomas. Fractionated doses allow healthy tissue to recover while maintaining continuous tumor pressure.
Ideal for feline meningiomas. Ultra-precise delivery in as few as one session — maximum accuracy with the fewest anesthetic events, important for older cats.
When curative treatment is not the goal, palliative radiation reduces tumor burden, relieves pain, and can meaningfully improve a cat's comfort and daily life.
