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. KEY FEATURES ------------ • Comprehensive coverage of common and uncommon neoplasms affecting geriatric dogs and cats, including epidemiology, clinical presentation, and age-specific considerations • Detailed clinical case studies demonstrating diagnostic approaches, treatment decision-making, and outcome monitoring in real senior animal oncology patients • Evidence-based treatment protocols adapted for elderly patients, including modified surgical techniques, adjusted chemotherapy dosing, and radiation therapy considerations • Practical guidance on pre-treatment assessment of geriatric patients, including evaluation of organ function, comorbidity management, and anesthetic risk stratification • Client communication strategies for discussing cancer diagnosis, treatment options, prognosis, and quality-of-life considerations in senior pets • Palliative and supportive care protocols specifically designed for elderly oncology patients, including pain management and nutritional support • Diagnostic imaging interpretation and biopsy techniques with emphasis on minimally invasive approaches suitable for fragile geriatric patients TARGET AUDIENCE --------------- • Small animal veterinarians managing geriatric patients in general practice settings • Veterinary oncology specialists and residents seeking case-based learning resources • Emergency and critical care veterinarians who encounter senior animals with cancer-related complications • Veterinary students pursuing advanced knowledge in oncology and geriatric medicine • Veterinary nurses and technicians involved in oncology patient care and client education INSTANT ACCESS -------------- Download immediately after purchase Compatible with all PDF readers Personal use license included PRICE: HK$340.00
