Veterinary Oncologic Surgery
Veterinary oncologic surgery involves procedures on tumors and cancerous tissues. Surgery is often the preferable option for the local control of cancer and successful removal of cancer can be one of the best approaches to their treatment. Oncologic surgery could have a diagnostic or curative intent. Oncologic surgery could also be cytoreductive where complete removal is not possible or carries unacceptable consequences. It could also be palliative where the quality of life can be improved without necessarily extending a patient’s life.
