A practical, image-driven guide to assessing tumors in canine and feline patients

The newly revised second edition of Atlas for the Diagnosis of Tumors in the Dog and Cat delivers an authoritative and practical visual guide to common veterinary tumors. A convenient desk reference, this book helps vets quickly and accurately assess tumors when they present. It focuses on relevant clinical details that aid in rapidly developing an effective treatment plan and prognosis.

Atlas for the Diagnosis of Tumors in the Dog and Cat is organized by body system, with each tumor type including paired histological and cytologic images. The latest edition also offers a new chapter on special diagnostic tests, like new imaging modalities, immunohistiochemistry, and molecular diagnostics.

Readers will also find: - A thorough introduction to grading and staging tumors
- Comprehensive explorations of selected lesions of the head and neck
- Practical discussions of special diagnostic tests
- Complete treatments of sample handling, including cytologic specimens and biopsy specimens

Atlas for the Diagnosis of Tumors in the Dog and Cat is an essential patient-side resource for any veterinarian or specialist involved in the diagnosis of tumors, as well as for veterinary students and interns and residents in pathology, dermatology, internal medicine, surgery, and oncology.
