| Abstract
|
:
|
"Decision Making in Small Animal Oncology is a practical manual for the increasing number of veterinarians called upon to treat patients with cancer. This case-based quick reference leads practitioners through diagnosis, treatment, and management decisions, offering reliable guidance for more effective management of cancer care. Providing easy-to-follow algorithms to assist the reader through the critical thinking process, Decision Making in Small Animal Oncology answers the questions most commonly asked in daily practice." "Chapters are organized by body system and take a case-based approach, with algorithms to aid in making the appropriate clinical decision. Primarily focusing on canine and feline cancer patients, additional information on tumors in exotic companion animals is also included. Decision Making in Small Animal Oncology is a highly readable resource for the cancer knowledge practitioners and students need in general practice."--BOOK JACKET.
