| Format | PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Veterinary Oncology & Geriatric Medicine Specialty: Small Animal Oncology, Geriatric Veterinary Care DESCRIPTION ----------- This comprehensive veterinary textbook addresses one of the most challenging aspects of modern veterinary practice: the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancer in geriatric companion animals. As the pet population ages and owners increasingly seek advanced care for their senior animals, veterinarians must be equipped with specialized knowledge to navigate the complex intersection of oncology and geriatric medicine. This resource provides evidence-based approaches to cancer management while considering the unique physiological, metabolic, and quality-of-life considerations inherent to elderly patients. The text distinguishes itself through its extensive collection of real-world clinical cases that illustrate diagnostic decision-making, treatment planning, and outcome assessment in senior animal oncology patients. Each case presentation guides practitioners through the complete patient journey, from initial presentation and diagnostic workup to treatment selection, monitoring protocols, and end-of-life care discussions. The case-based approach enables readers to develop critical thinking skills and apply theoretical knowledge to practical clinical scenarios they will encounter in daily practice. Written for veterinarians who regularly manage geriatric patients, this resource bridges the gap between general oncology principles and the specific challenges posed by aging animals. It addresses crucial topics including age-related changes in drug metabolism, surgical risk assessment in elderly patients, modified chemotherapy protocols, palliative care strategies, and client communication regarding realistic treatment goals and prognosis in senior pets.
