Cancer is a frequently encountered condition in veterinary practice, and primary care practitioners play a crucial role in early diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management. This learning series with Sarah Stewart is designed to provide a structured approach to oncology in general practice, helping vets understand the biological behaviour of different cancer types and how this influences treatment decisions.

It begins with a brief overview of cancer classification and the biologic behaviour of the three cancer families (carcinomas, sarcomas, and round cell tumours), followed by an in-depth discussion on diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of medical oncology conditions.

The last video focuses on incorporating metronomic chemotherapy into your primary practice, providing guidance on drug selection, monitoring, and clinical applications to enhance patient care. This learning series is designed to be immediately applicable, equipping vets with practical strategies to improve outcomes for medical oncology in their patients.
