Description

Cancer is a common disease. One in three people, dogs and cats will develop a cancer over their lifetime. Cancer treatment has evolved over the last few decades in all 3 species and there are lots of similarities in cancer behaviour, treatment modalities and clinical outcome. These similarities can be utilised in comparative oncology research On the other hand cancer behaviour can significantly differ between species and its imperative to acknowledge that to achieve the best results in cancer treatment of the individual patients and apply "the correct" dose of treatment. Some cancers are curable, some are able to be held in remission for periods of time, and some are manageable. Veronika will outline the most common diseases such as lymphoma, mast cell tumors, oral tumors, thymoma, lung tumors and bone cancer and discuss differences between dogs and cats not only in the cancer behaviour and response to different treatment options but the availability of new diagnostic tests which can help us to diagnose cancer earlier and therefore optimize long term response to treatment.

Staging the Oncology Patient
Staging is one of the most important components of oncology case management. It involves determining the extent of local disease along with the presence or absence of regional or distant metastasis. The results of staging are used to give more accurate and informed treatment options along with prognostic information for each oncology patient. Some of the biggest challenges in staging is to consider how much staging is required for each case, which are the most appropriate tests, and if the results of these tests will impact treatment options and prognosis. I will discuss this information in a case-based and evidence-based approach, focusing on some of the more common cancers including canine mast cell tumours, lymphoma, oral tumours and apocrine gland anal sac adenocarcinomas.

Canine and feline lymphoma - diagnosis and treatment
Canine and feline lymphoma is a relatively common disease but there are some areas where potential complications arise. This webinar will concentrate on the diagnostic tests that can be utilised for this disease and the common treatments, with an emphasis on how the diagnostic tests can influence the treatment and prognosis. In dogs, diagnosis is usually relatively straightforward, but it can be more of a challenge in cats due to the differences in clinical presentation. The standard initial treatment options are well described, but how they need to be modified dependent on concurrent illnesses, diagnostic test findings and owner constraints can be more complicated. My approach to these issues will be described including how they might impact the patient outcome, as well as alternatives. The monitoring of the patients and an overview of the management of complications of the disease and treatment is to be covered. The webinar will conclude with rescue options. Lymphoma can be a rewarding disease to treat, but can be very challenging at times.
