Oncology 101

Oncology 101
Oncology 101

Cancer is arguably the leading cause of disease-related death in dogs and cats. Many of us, however, enter the veterinary work force with little or no training in veterinary oncology. In this lecture we’ll start at the beginning and introduce the practicalities of managing dogs and cats with cancer. If you graduated in the days where veterinary oncology was all but skipped at university, or if you just need a refresher, please join us for Veterinary Oncology 101.

Chemotherapy Precautions and Safety - Why, How and What to do (for Nurses)

Cancer frequently affects our veterinary patients and in recent years chemotherapy has become more commonly utilised treatment. General practices are increasingly prescribing and administering chemotherapy drugs. Chemotherapy drugs are toxic to cells (cytotoxic) interfering with the normal cell life cycle which results in cell death. Cancer cells are targeted by these drugs however they are not specific for cancer cells and healthy tissue can be affected. Chemotherapy drugs are also carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic and abortifacient. It is important that these drugs are handled safely. Personnel handling of chemotherapeutic drugs have been found to have increased risks of infertility, early pregnancy loss or urinary excretion of these drugs. This webinar will discuss the safety precautions necessary for handling chemotherapy agents and will focus on the recent consensus guidelines produced by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) in January 2018 to raise awareness of risks and how we can reduce the exposure within clinics. If time permits, common side effects (neutropaenia, thorombocytopaenia and gastrointestinal side effects) caused by chemotherapy will be explained as well as precautions for handling such patients.
