The incidence of cancers in companion animals is rising. With advancements in veterinary diagnostic imaging, we can now accurately identify and assess the spread of various cancers, providing appropriate treatment options. My involvement in such cases over the years at CGS Hospital has piqued my interest in the rapidly evolving specialised field of Veterinary Surgical Oncology. To stay informed about developments, and acquire new techniques and methodologies for challenging tumour conditions, I decided to participate in this workshop. It was a privilege to learn from experts in the field of surgical veterinary oncology. The discussions regarding limb-sparing techniques, appropriate case selection, decision-making for specific approaches, and the potential outcomes for various tumour treatments were exceptionally enlightening. Interacting with veterinary surgeons from diverse countries during the training was an enriching experience. The hands-on labs, where we practised the demonstrated procedures, proved to be highly beneficial. I am eager to implement and share the knowledge I acquired through this training at CGS.
