Oncology for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses Reviews

The book is well organized and easy to read... and it fills a void in the market for texts devoted to the true heroes in veterinary oncology: the veterinary nurses. (Vet Med Today, 15 June 2010) A comprehensive and unique resource for veterinary technicians, nurses, students, and assistants who care for dogs and cats with cancer. The book is aimed primarily at technicians in specialty practices; however, it will be useful to all nursing staff who care for pets with cancer. The treatment section is a great guide for anyone administering or caring for patients receiving radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The real strength of the book is in the coverage of supportive care... and the emphasis on the importance of quality of life. Finally, summaries of common cancers in dogs and cats, as well as appendices for quick reference on commonly used drugs, ensure that this book will be an often-used reference for technicians who care for pets with cancer. (JAVMA, June 2010)
