This conference will highlight practical aspects of veterinary oncology such as breaking the news to clients, and managing chemotherapy side effects and cancer pain. We will discuss alimentary tumors in dogs and cats and we will bring up the latest options for dogs with melanoma, osteosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma and other difficult to treat cancers. Finally, we will review the basics of radiation therapy: the different ways that it can be delivered as well as which tumors respond best to this treatment modality and how to handle the side effects from radiation.
