Overview
The past, the present and hopefully the future of prognosticating feline soft tissue sarcomas; this webinar aims to give an overview of where we currently are regarding the histological grading of feline soft tissue sarcomas, with some insight into the origins via grading STS in humans and canine, and the development of the proposed grading system in cats. It will look at some of the challenges, including nomenclature, subtyping, the complication of feline injection site sarcomas, and the subjectivity of some aspects. It will also look at where we would like to go in the future....
This event will take place at 12:30pm and last approximately 1 hour.
