Oncology 2:
Hematopoietic Tumours, Tumours of the Digestive Tract & Bone Tumours

16 - 20 December 2024 | Bangkok, Thailand

General Overview

Cancer is a common disease in pets and one of the main causes of death. Over the past decade, our knowledge of cancer in animals has increased rapidly, and today several treatment options exist to treat canine and feline cancer patients. 

Oncology II builds up on Oncology I and addresses some of the most common canine and feline tumours including haematopoietic neoplasms (e.g. lymphoma) and oral, gastrointestinal, pancreatic & hepatosplenic tumours. A major emphasis of the course will again be on understanding how to systematically approach a patient with cancer. There will be lots of interactive and case-oriented work using a rational approach including recognizing symptoms, interpreting radiographic findings, choosing correct staging procedures and formulating a therapeutic plan.

Oncology 1 is mandatory for taking course 2.

Topics:

  • Handling chemotherapy adverse effects and complications
  • Canine and feline lymphoma
  • Leukaemias & plasma cell tumours
  • Chemotherapy of lymphoma & other haematopoeitic tumours
  • Cytology of lymph nodes and blood smears 
  • Feline mast cell tumors 
  • Principles of surgical oncology of oral, gastrointestinal, pancreatic & hepatosplenic tumours
  • Oral, gastrointestinal, pancreatic & hepatosplenic tumours
  • Interactive case management sessions (miscellaneous tumors)
  • Feline bone tumours
