Cancer is a frequently encountered condition in veterinary practice, and primary care practitioners play a crucial role in early diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management. This course is designed to provide a structured approach to oncology in general practice, helping vets understand the biological behaviour of different cancer types and how this influences treatment decisions.
The course will begin with an overview of cancer classification, focusing on carcinomas, sarcomas, and round cell tumours, followed by an in-depth discussion on specific tumour types including diagnosis and treatment.
The final session will focus on incorporating metronomic chemotherapy into daily practice, providing guidance on drug selection, monitoring, and clinical applications to enhance patient care. This course is designed to be immediately applicable, equipping vets with practical strategies to improve outcomes for oncology patients.
Topics to be covered include:
Cancer classification and biological behaviour - Review the three main families of cancer and how biological behaviour relates to treatment principles
The 'other' round cell tumours - Tackling plasma cell tumours, histiocytic sarcomas and TVT in primary practice
Neuroendocrine tumours - managing the medical sequelae and cancer treatment
Incorporating metronomic chemotherapy into your practice
