Incorporate the latest techniques and treatments in veterinary oncology into your daily practice"

In recent years, veterinary oncology has experienced considerable growth, mainly due to the increased longevity of pets and their greater affective bonds with their owners. 

Cancer treatments for animals do not always offer possibilities for a “cure”; however, the veterinarian must be aware of the therapeutic options available for consideration. Neoplastic diseases are increasingly being considered as chronic. That is why early and accurate identification or diagnosis of an animal with cancer is essential, especially as prognosis varies significantly. However, this is not always possible due to the number of clinical manifestations that accompany the wide variety of neoplasms.  
A correct anamnesis is fundamental and must take into account the data found for each clinical history (age, race), physical examination (masses), as well as diagnostic imaging techniques (radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy, CT and MRI). 

The topics covered in this program have been selected to offer complete, up to date and quality specialization in internal medicine, thereby providing students with knowledge that will allow them to safely deal with cases and carry out adequate follow up, monitoring and therapeutic procedures.
