Description

A diagnosis of cancer is often devastating news for any family but there are options available which have the potential to allow our companion animals to live a longer and more comfortable life. Some treatments for cancer might aim for a cure, others to push the disease into a state of remission or simply support the animal. As any veterinary intervention aims to reduce the clinical signs, pain or discomfort associated with illness, for animals diagnosed with cancer there are many elements to consider and there often isn’t usually just one, straight forward option to consider. This webinar will give an overview of the treatments available in the UK for animals diagnosed with cancer, it will look at what surgical, radio- and medical therapies can be offered, as well as some new and novel treatments that are becoming more readily available. It will explore the indications for such interventions, what each aims to achieve as well as what risks (or adverse events) could be experienced so that the veterinary nurse has a greater understanding of what options are available for this large group of patients.
