BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Oncology, 3rd Edition pdf

By Jane Dobson and Duncan Lascelles

BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Oncology, 3rd Edition PDF. Building on the success of previous editions, the Editors have sought to marry the best of the old with the new. All chapters have been updated, or rewritten, by international experts to encompass the important advances made over the last several years, while keeping the text practical and user-friendly.
The principles of diagnostics and clinical staging and of the main therapeutic modalities are outlined. Individual tumor types in the body systems of dogs and cats are then described, using a common approach to aid information retrieval on etiology and pathogenesis, presentation and clinical signs (including staging/grading of tumors), management, and prognosis. A wealth of new photographs has been included to illustrate the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of a range of tumors.

The growing importance of ethical considerations and palliative care are also recognized, and exciting developments and treatment possibilities explored.
