About VCS
The Veterinary Cancer Society (VCS) was formed in 1976 by a small group of veterinarians whose goal was to establish a professional organization dedicated specifically to veterinary oncology.
VCS is a non-profit educational organization consisting of nearly 1,300 specialists in medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, as well as internists, pathologists, and general practitioners from around the world. Professionals, students, residents, interns and technicians all form the membership of the Veterinary Cancer Society today.
The focus of our organization is to encourage research and collaboration among our members.
Each day, hundreds of animals are diagnosed with cancer. Pet owners across the US and around the world reach out to VCS asking for information and assistance in finding treatment options for their pets. We hope that this website will answer some of the questions that you have about cancer in your pet and will assist you in finding options that may exist for you in your community.
Our members include specialists in medical, surgical and radiation oncology, pathology as well as technicians, trainees and general practitioners from around the world.
Continuing Education Opportunities
Providing our members with educational opportunities to advance their careers.
VCS offers a range of online and in-person learning opportunities for our members and the veterinary community at large. These opportunities aim to enhance knowledge and skills in the field of veterinary oncology.
