Omschrijving

IDEXX

Cancer remains one of the top causes of morbidity and mortality of companion animals.

This presentation provides an overview of the optimal approach to managing patients with suspected cancer

and patients being treated for cancer that are in decline. We will discuss initial diagnostics and stabilization, from

presentation to discharge from the hospital, with case examples. Emphasis will be placed on identifying key clinical

and laboratory abnormalities, providing supportive care while avoiding compromise of future therapeutic options or

diagnostics IF clients elect advanced management or referral. The session will also address common pitfalls in early

management that may limit referral options or affect prognosis. Designed for general practitioners and emergency

veterinarians, this course will equip clinicians with practical strategies to ensure the best possible outcomes for

cancer patients at every stage of care.
