Krebs beim Hund

Around half of all dogs over the age of ten are diagnosed with cancer today. When this diagnosis is made for one's own dog, shock and uncertainty are initially overwhelming: What happens next? Will there be a next step at all? It is beneficial to have informed oneself about this often-avoided topic in advance, so that one can draw on that knowledge during a crisis situation. This specialized book provides the detailed foundations needed to make well-informed decisions. How does the cell biology of a tumor function, and what types of cancer exist? How can effective prevention be carried out? Why is correct diagnostics so important? What treatment options are available today? What possibilities and limitations exist? Remaining consistently based on evidence-based medicine, the author not only shares her own experiences as a dog owner of pets diagnosed with cancer but also utilizes her years of experience as a specialist journalist in veterinary medicine to explain complex medical issues in an understandable way.
