Description
Comprehensive, straightforward oncology learning resource with coverage of diagnosis, staging, treatment, support, and common emergencies and cancer types.
Oncology for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses is a straightforward educational resource that imparts a basic understanding of practical oncology therapy from the technician perspective. It provides thorough coverage of diagnosis and staging, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, pain management, GI support, most cancer types, analgesics, antiemetics, appetite stimulants, and antibiotics. This newly revised and updated Second Edition covers the many advances in veterinary medicine and oncology since the original edition was published in 2009.
Readers will find detailed information on oncological emergencies, including haematologic, metabolic, urological, and bone emergencies, as well as common cancers in veterinary patients, including lymphoma and mammary carcinoma in both cats and dogs, along with a number of canine-centric cancers.
The book includes nearly 400 images and figures to elucidate key concepts. A series of helpful appendices assists readers in the practical application of concepts discussed throughout the book.
With content presented in a logical order, Oncology for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses includes information on:
- Basics of oncology, covering fundamental concepts in the field and causes of cancer in pets, as well as the processes behind diagnosing and staging cancers.
- Treatment of cancer through surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, receptor and small molecule inhibitors, immunotherapy, intralesional therapies, and electrochemotherapy.
- Supportive care of patients through comfort, pain management, physical rehabilitation, gastrointestinal and nutritional support, and haematologic support.
- Support for pet owners and caregivers, including communicating with the patient’s human family and supporting the nurse’s emotional experience.
Oncology for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses is an essential reference on the subject for veterinary nurses and technicians seeking the information they need to properly and safely perform cancer treatments, especially those undergoing diploma, certificate, and bachelor’s degrees in Australia, New Zealand, UK, and USA in particular.
