Managing Oncology Cases — From Palliation to Referral and Everything in Between
Managing oncologic cases often requires collaboration between the referring veterinarian and specialist, but what does a successful partnership look like? A supportive collaboration between the pet owner, primary care veterinarian and oncology specialist is essential to achieve the best outcomes for these patients, but along with the major benefits that come from this joint effort are some hesitations. In this VetFolio Voice podcast episode, Dr. Cassi and veterinary oncologist Dr. Haley Leeper cover the options typically discussed with clients whose pets are diagnosed with cancer, from palliative care to referral to quality of life assessments and everything in between. You’ll learn what a collaborative care team looks like and how oncology can embrace providing a spectrum of care, plus explore a new conditionally approved medication that is used for the treatment of canine lymphoma — verdinexor (Laverdia).
