Would you like to be more confident with cancer-related emergencies? Do you often feel that you don’t know what to do when you diagnose patients with cancer?

The aim of this course is to provide veterinary professionals with the basics as well as new advances in recognition and management of common emergencies in dogs and cats with cancer. The course will equip you with the knowledge to recognise and treat dogs presenting with hypercalcaemia of malignancy, cranial vena cava syndrome, hyperviscosity syndrome and malignant effusions. We will review the current and emerging treatments for chemotherapy-induced side effects and analyse the literature on management of patients with neutropenic sepsis. We aim to cover treatment of chemotherapy extravasations and we will explain the pathophysiology of tumour lysis syndrome. Lastly, discussing common neuro-oncological emergencies will provide you with the basis for the stabilisation of patients with seizures, increased intracranial pressure and spinal compressions due to brain and spinal tumours.

Why do the course?
The course will improve your confidence in emergency situations and will provide the knowledge for an effective stabilisation, diagnosis and treatment of oncologic patients.

We encourage veterinarians with an interest in small animal oncology and emergency and critical care to join us in this CPD.
