Welcome to FurWell Veterinary Hospital, where our veterinary team provides compassionate, expert cancer surgery to give your pet the best possible chance at a longer, healthier life in Greer, SC.
Cancer surgery involves the surgical removal of tumors, masses, and affected tissues to treat or manage cancer in pets. It is often the most effective treatment for many types of cancer, particularly when the tumor is localized and can be completely excised. Depending on the cancer type and extent of disease, surgery may be curative, palliative (to relieve symptoms), or part of a multimodal treatment plan that includes chemotherapy or radiation. At FurWell Veterinary Hospital, we take a thorough, individualized approach to every oncology case. We discuss the diagnosis, staging, treatment options, and prognosis with you clearly and compassionately, ensuring you have the information you need to make the best decision for your pet and your family.
Before cancer surgery, our team performs complete diagnostics including bloodwork, imaging, and when appropriate, biopsy or fine needle aspirate to characterize the tumor. We stage the disease as thoroughly as possible and discuss the surgical plan, expected outcomes, and risks with you.
Cancer surgery is performed under general anesthesia with continuous monitoring. Our team uses appropriate surgical margins and techniques to maximize the chance of complete tumor removal while minimizing complications.
After surgery, our team provides individualized pain management and close monitoring during recovery. We discuss the pathology results with you when available, review next steps in your pet’s care plan, and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor for recurrence.

For many solid tumors, complete surgical removal offers the highest chance of a cure or long-term remission. Early intervention before the tumor grows or spreads significantly improves outcomes.
Even when cure is not possible, cancer surgery can remove painful masses, relieve pressure on surrounding structures, and dramatically improve your pet’s comfort and quality of life.
Surgical biopsy provides definitive diagnosis and staging information that guides further treatment decisions, giving you and your veterinarian the clearest possible picture of your pet’s condition.
We perform a wide range of tumor removal procedures including mass excisions, splenic surgery, intestinal tumor removal, and other oncologic surgeries. Our team evaluates each case individually and discusses all options with you. Call (864) 292-6433.
Cancer surgery is not right for every pet or every cancer type. Our team thoroughly evaluates your pet’s diagnosis, overall health, and quality of life before recommending surgery. We discuss all options, including palliative care, openly and honestly.
Recovery depends on the procedure performed and your pet’s overall health. Most pets recover well with appropriate pain management and restricted activity. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and schedules follow-up visits to monitor healing.
The cost of cancer surgery varies based on the tumor type, location, and procedure complexity. Our team provides transparent estimates before proceeding. For pricing information, call (864) 292-6433.
