Description
Cancer Management in Small Animal Practice provides you with all the tools needed to diagnose, stage, and manage the many different
disease entities known as "cancer." This manual is designed to provide you with easy-to-access, clinically relevant details for complete
care of the small animal cancer patient, while considering the needs, concerns, and capabilities of the client. It provides quick reference
sections for information not included in current oncology texts, including drug interactions and resources for participation in clinical
trials. All information is well referenced and the reference section on the accompanying website includes links to the original and related
articles.
