Of all the weapons against cancer, surgery is the most important (…at least if you ask a surgeon). Many of our veterinary cancer patients can expect a good prognosis, sometimes even a cure, with a well-planned initial surgery. Conversely, a poorly executed first surgery can have irreversible effects on prognosis.

In this webinar Dr Amanda Miller will focus on how to customise your approach for skin tumours to the individual patient after consideration of multiple factors (tumour type and location, patient and owner factors, incisional versus excisional biopsy, marginal versus wide resection, drains and skin flaps, lymph node biopsy and oncologic staging, adjunctive treatment with chemotherapy and radiation).

Amanda will also discuss new updates on other surgically managed cancers, including osteosarcoma, anal sac adenocarcinoma and liver tumours.

Dr Neil Christensen will introduce this talk with a short Radiation Oncology case study.
