Full Spectrum Definition

Full Spectrum: This is Dr. Dressler’s phrase to describe an unbiased, results-oriented, strategic approach to cancer care. The goal is to optimize life quality and increase longevity. As a Full Spectrum vet, Dr. Dressler considers and treats all aspects of cancer, including diet, lifestyle, and the psychological well-being of both the patient and the guardian. Conventional tools (chemotherapy, surgery and radiation) are part of Full Spectrum cancer care, as are many alternative treatments and others, never previously considered for canine cancer care. There are five steps to Full Spectrum cancer care, all of which are outlined in detail in The Dog Cancer Survival Guide.
