There are numerous cancer presentations that will challenge the general practitioner. Some are regular attendees in the veterinary consulting room, some are infrequent visitors.
In this series of presentations you will learn tips for the approach to cancer in general, tips that can be applied across the board for the most part. In addition, the most prevalent tumours will be considered in more detail. The twin focus will be on an understanding of underlying principles and on practical tips to enable more confident (and competent) cancer management.
Specific consideration will be given to canine cutaneous mast cell tumours, lymphoma in dogs and cats, and to soft tissue sarcomas in both species.
This course is ideal for first opinion practitioners with an interest in oncology.
The five key things delegates will learn from this course are:
* How to judge degree of malignancy from clinical and pathological cues
* How to take practical decisions in canine cutaneous mast cell tumour management
* When to perform immunohistochemistry (and when it’s a waste of time and money)
* When a soft tissue sarcoma should be managed conservatively, when a more radical treatment is appropriate, and when the practitioner would be well advised to leave it alone
* Recognition of key differences in different lymphoma types and their clinical relevance
