About this course
Would you like to be more confident with cancer-related emergencies? Do you often feel that you don’t know what to do when you diagnose patients with cancer?
The aim of this course is to provide veterinary professionals with an overview of the basics as well as new advances in the recognition and management of the most common emergencies in dogs and cats with cancer. The course will equip you with the knowledge to be able to recognise and treat dogs presenting with hypercalcaemia of malignancy, cranial vena cava syndrome, hyperviscosity syndrome and malignant effusions. We will also review the current and emerging treatments for chemotherapy-induced side effects, and we will analyse the most recent literature on management of patients with neutropenic sepsis. We also aim to cover the treatment of chemotherapy extravasations and we will explain the pathophysiology of tumour lysis syndrome, an uncommon complication after treating dogs with large tumours with chemotherapy. Lastly, a section of common neurooncological emergencies will provide you with the bases for the stabilisation of patients with seizures, increased intracranial pressure and spinal compressions due to brain and spinal tumours. The lectures will be accompanied by practical tips, interactive sessions and real cases that you may see at your clinic.
Why do the course?
The course will improve your confidence in emergency situations and will provide the knowledge for an effective stabilisation, diagnosis and treatment of oncologic patients.
