Can tumors be treated in poodles?

Depending upon the tumor, maybe. Poodles can get a wide variety of tumors ranging from osteosarcoma (bone tumors) to mast cell tumors to lypomas (fat cell tumors). Some tumors are benign and easy to treat - the veterinarian simply removes the tumor in toto and the poodle will be fine. Other tumors are malignant and difficult to treat - some spread very rapidly (often before the primary tumor is even found), some grow in difficult to reach places (such as in the skull or around the blood vessels) and some simply grow so fast they cause death before they are even found.
