Description
In this talk, we will review the mechanisms of action of cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs commonly used in veterinary oncology, which will enable to understand why and when adverse effects occur in chemotherapy treated patients. Recent studies and consensus will be reviewed. This talk is aimed at practitioners who are already offering or are considering offering chemotherapy to their patients and would like a better understanding of those drugs. It is also aimed at veterinary surgeons and nurses who do not necessarily manipulate those agents in their daily practice as it will provide some in depth insights onto how to manage patients that have received chemotherapy.
