Become a professional in one of the most  in-demand fields of the moment: train in Oral Cavity Neoplasms in Small Animals with this comprehensive TECH”

Within veterinary oncology, oral cancer is a common occurrence, although very often it can be hard to identify it and differentiate it from other oral pathologies. Due to its poor prognosis and aggressive nature when it is a malignant neoplasm, it is essential to identify it correctly, differentiate it from other oral conditions that may appear to be oral cancer and treat it in time, since, on certain occasions, early diagnosis can make the difference between life and death.
