Sinopsis

In many cases, surgery is still the main therapeutic tool used in the fight against cancer in small animals. That is why the objective of this book is to provide a manual that delves deeper into this discipline, drawing from the authors’ extensive experience.

Surgical Oncology provides an interesting collection of case studies, which are described by means of high qual- ity images and videos of the procedures and accompanied by diagrams and short discussions that turn the book into a highly practical resource.
