Torigen Immunotherapy at Tell Tail Veterinary Urgent Care: Personalized Cancer Treatment for Pets

At Tell Tail Veterinary Urgent Care, we are committed to providing advanced and innovative treatment options to help pets in their fight against cancer. One such option is Torigen, a groundbreaking, personalized immunotherapy that uses your pet’s own tumor cells to create a custom treatment plan aimed at targeting cancer. This autologous prescription product offers hope to pet owners and is designed for use in dogs, cats, and horses.

What is Torigen Immunotherapy?

Torigen’s autologous immunotherapy is a unique approach to treating cancer in pets by harnessing the body’s natural immune system. Unlike traditional cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation that target cancer cells broadly, Torigen creates a personalized immunotherapy from the tumor cells of your pet. This tailored treatment stimulates your pet’s immune system to recognize and fight the tumor more effectively.

How Torigen Works:

  • Tumor Cell Collection: The process begins with the collection of your pet’s tumor cells, typically obtained through a biopsy.
  • Custom Immunotherapy Creation: These cells are sent to Torigen’s specialized laboratory, where they are processed to create a personalized immunotherapy. The goal is to train your pet’s immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells.
  • Treatment Administration: Once the immunotherapy is ready, it’s administered to your pet following a simple protocol, typically in the form of injections.

This treatment can be used alone or in combination with other cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, depending on the type of tumor and your pet’s unique case.

Why Choose Torigen?

  1. Personalized for Your Pet: Because Torigen uses your pet’s own tumor cells, the treatment is highly specific to their cancer, enhancing the immune system’s ability to target and fight the tumor.
  2. Minimally Invasive: Torigen therapy is less invasive than many traditional cancer treatments. After the initial biopsy, the treatment involves simple injections, making it a more manageable option for pets and their owners.
  3. Flexible Use: Torigen can be administered as a standalone therapy or alongside chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Your veterinarian will work with you to develop a treatment plan that best suits your pet’s needs.
  4. Safe and Accessible: The immunotherapy protocol is straightforward, offering a treatment option that pet owners can feel confident in pursuing.

Is Torigen Right for Your Pet?

While Torigen is an exciting and promising treatment option, it’s important to note that it may not be appropriate for every type of tumor or pet. Factors such as the type of cancer, tumor size, overall health of the patient, and other clinical considerations play a role in determining if Torigen is the right option.

At Tell Tail Veterinary Urgent Care, our experienced veterinarians will guide you through the process and discuss whether Torigen is suitable for your pet. We are committed to offering compassionate, evidence-based care and will explore all available treatment options to ensure the best outcome for your pet.

Simple Protocol, Advanced Care

The Torigen treatment protocol is designed to be simple and straightforward, allowing your pet to receive care without adding unnecessary stress to their routine. The ease of administration also allows for flexibility, with the treatment being integrated into a broader care plan if necessary. Our team at Tell Tail Veterinary Urgent Care is here to make the process as seamless as possible for you and your pet.

Working in Combination with Chemotherapy and Radiation

Torigen is designed to complement traditional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In certain cases, these treatments can work together to increase the effectiveness of cancer management. Your veterinarian will discuss whether a combination approach is best for your pet, depending on their diagnosis and individual health needs.
