Radiation therapy allows pinpointed tumor treatment with shorter timeframe of treatment.

A Chattanooga veterinary care group plans to open an animal cancer center this month that its officials say will offer cutting-edge therapy for the region.

The Rotary Club of San Marcos needs 150 volunteers to help pack 15,000 food packages, each of which serves six people, for a total of 90,000 meals. The event will be held on World Food Day, Saturday, Oct. 14, from 9 a.m. to noon at the First Lutheran Church on Holland Street in San Marcos. It is a partnership between Rotary and the international nonprofit Rise Against Hunger.

An expansion nearly tripling the size of a Chattanooga veterinary facility, including the addition of a cancer treatment center, will make the location what officials said is the largest privately owned small animal hospital in the Southeast.
