Mast cell tumours are one of the most common skin tumours in dogs. They can vary from benign and potentially curative with surgery alone, to highly metastatic and potentially killing the dog within a few months of diagnosis, despite surgery and aggressive treatment options.

This 50-minute voice recorded PowerPoint presentation, providing an overview of mast cell tumours in dogs with an emphasis of the cause, signalment, clinical presentation, biologic behaviour, prognosis and diagnosis. The main focus is on identifying and understanding the prognostic factors and treatment options available for canine mast cell tumours. I will also discuss ‘How to use Palladia’, and provide questions and case examples.

Vets that will likely benefit most from this presentation are primary care veterinarians who wish to learn more about canine mast cell tumours, and how to diagnose, approach and manage canine mast cell tumours that are encountered in every day clinical practice.

Upon completion, an online quiz can be taken by clicking here (unlimited attempts). Feedback will be provided after the quiz. A CPD certificate equivalent to 1 structured CPD point (as per the AVA VetEd Points) is available for this presentation. Please email The Pet Oncologist after passing the quiz.
