As Veterinarians... we often wish we had more to offer our patients concerning cancer, and especially when their owners, for whatever reason, are not able to take advantage of available referral services.

The Answer... join us in Lufkin, TX October 24th & 25th, 2015, for a weekend of "Practical Oncology." Come learn "practical" knowledge you can put to use immediately in your clinic starting on the following Monday.


We'll cover the most important Oncology topics including the following:

• cancers most commonly seen in small animal practice
• diagnosis and treatment in the trenches
• what we hope to gain for our patients and their owners by referring to a specialist
• the many "how to" applications of chemotherapy
• adjustments to the chemo plan, when things do not go as planned
• rescue therapy
• Plus you'll experience our newly added Dry Lab presented by Oncura, which will give you individual hands on experience in performing fine needle aspirations and biopsies.

Your registration fee includes a continental breakfast and hot lunch provided each day at no charge, plus a Proceedings containing the following:

• copies of all PowerPoint slides
• copies of client handouts
• copies of in-clinic forms (chemo dose calculators, chemo estimate form, etc.)
• handy reference charts for fluid analysis, chemo protocols, cytology algorithm, diagnosis and treatment of hypercalcemia
• special laboratory submission forms
• access to download the proceedings in .pdf format after the seminar
• plus sponsor information and offers
