Course Focus and Learning Objectives

VetCE on Demand: Mast Cell Tumors: Options for the Primary Veterinarian utilizes the archive of a live presentation under the same name.

This course reviews mast cell disease which can be very challenging to treat. There are many new options available making it difficult to keep up with the current trends and to know what to do next. Pet owners have many questions and not all have the same goals for the treatment of their pet. This course focuses on what the primary veterinarian can do from understanding pathology reports and testing to treatments with injectable drugs like Stelfonta and surgery. It also reviews prognosis and survival time with the various types of mast cell tumors and treatment pursued.

At the end of the course participants should be able to:

  • outline how to diagnose mast cell tumors and the newer grading systems
  • discuss Stelfonta and injectable steroid treatments
  • discuss current surgery recommendations
  • compare and contrast prognosis and survival expectations for different type of mast cell tumors and therapies pursued
