Radiation therapy in small animals: What do I need to know?
Radiotherapy (RT) is a treatment modality based on the use of ionizing radiation, and it is mainly used to treat cancer. In the last 2 decades, RT has become an integral therapeutic and pivotal tool in the treatment of cancer in veterinary medicine. This webinar will focus on how RT can be used to treat various conditions; the palliative uses of RT and the often toxic side effects that can be observed in our patients.
