Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I’m very honored to invite You to submit articles in this special issue of Animals focused on surgical oncology in companion animals.
Surgery remains one of the primary treatment in most cancer patients. It permits the cure when the tumor is localized and non-metastatic, but it can also be included in a multimodal approach for high-aggressive and metastatized neoplasm. In this optic, the oncologic surgeon should be not only an excellent technical surgeon but also a competent clinician able to evaluate the patient at 360°.
The management of a companion animal affected by a tumor can include surgical procedures in many steps, from the first biopsy to metastasectomy, and with different intents, from curative to palliative. Surgery can be a therapeutic procedure influencing the prognosis, but also a diagnostic tool for a correct oncological staging. The purpose of this special issue is to collect studies focused on new surgical techniques and approaches, as well as studies revealing the prognostic impact of surgery in the management of companion animals with cancer. Research articles, case report, case series and original reviews are invited to this Special Issue.
Dr. Roberta Ferrari
