Mass movements: Surgical and oncological principles in the management of skin and other masses
Mass Movements!
Surgical and oncological principles in the management of skin and other masses.
This talk will cover how to cope with massive mountain skin masses. Sandra will discuss how to optimise your pre-surgical planning including making the most of fine needle aspirate biopsies, when to take incisional biopsies, when and how to accurately stage masses. We will also discuss new techniques for lymph node mapping and staging.
Lynda will then go through surgical planning, patient surgical preparation and optimising your surgical techniques. We will discuss how to tackle the challenge of closing the massive whole that removing these masses can create.
In addition, we will explore how to interpret histopathology results, including tumour type, grade, margins, and other prognostic indicators, and how these findings influence recommendations for further treatment and monitoring.
This talk will help you to optimise treating patients with skin masses and give you tips and tricks to cope with those tricky massive masses.
- How to diagnose and stage skin and subcutaneous masses
- How to create treatment plans based on the recent veterinary literature
- How to optimise surgical excision and closing large deficits
- How to interpret key findings from histopathology reports and use them to inform treatment decisions, monitoring and prognosis.
