Research in cancer care for companion animals

In veterinary oncology, every case is an opportunity to learn, refine, and improve care. Research is the foundation that informs discoveries while refining the standards of practice. At PET Theranostics, research is not a private asset, but a shared resource that strengthens the entire veterinary profession to deliver better outcomes.

We are committed to research

PET Theranostics was founded with a dual purpose: to provide veterinarians with the most advanced imaging and diagnosis available, and to use every scan as part of a growing body of research. By integrating clinical service with data-driven study, we are building a platform that:

  • Refines imaging protocols for greater accuracy.
  • Validates new tracers and diagnostic tools.
  • Explores the potential of theranostic therapies in veterinary care.
  • Shares insights with the veterinary community to lift standards across the profession.

Through this commitment, we work toward patient benefits and advancing the role of oncology treatments across the companion animal industry.

Every PET-CT scan performed at PET Theranostics adds to our collective understanding of cancer in companion animals. These insights help veterinarians:

  • Make more informed treatment decisions.
  • Access the latest evidence-based approaches.
  • Participate in clinical trials and innovation.

“To me, Dr. Lurie is Godsent. He is always available to talk. Dr. Lurie gave us all the time on a call on Saturday morning. He didn’t rush us off the phone; he was patient with all our questions. He answered and gave us more information regarding the treatment than what we had even asked for. I don’t know what good I have done in this lifetime to meet such people. Lucky me! Lucky Sambuca! Sensational. Fantastic. Kind. Fabulous. Gentle. Understanding. Relatable”.

“From the outset, David explained Toby’s diagnosis and the treatment options not only in simple, understandable terms but, most of all, with incredible empathy. David’s honest and patient approach made our decision to undertake radiotherapy treatment so comfortable. David kept us updated on his progress and continued to reassure us. Over two years on, our little fella is still going strong and is heading towards his 18th birthday – every day is a blessing”
