Is haemangiosarcoma always a death sentence? Strategies for successful management in general practice
19 Nov 2026
RVC Clinical Theatre 1
Splenic haemangiosarcoma is a common tumour encountered in dogs that can often present as an emergency due to tumour rupture and haemoabdomen. It is generally an aggressive disease and many clinicians and/or owners elect not to pursue treatment due to a potentially poor prognosis. But this doesn't always have to be the case!
This talk will bring you up to speed on the best diagnostic approach to haemangiosarcoma and cover updates in treatment strategies, with helpful tips along the way to ensure you feel confident managing these cases in general practice. We will thoroughly explore prognosis, to aid client discussions, and hopefully demonstrate that haemangiosarcoma doesn't always have to be a death sentence!
