Canine MCT webinar series announced

To complement the launch of Stelfonta – an intratumoural solution to treat mast cell tumours (MCTs) in dogs – Virbac has collaborated with BattLab/Laboklin to offer vets and vet nurses a free webinar series on the diagnosis of canine MCTs. 

The series of three bite-size webinars are presented by specialists in their respective fields: small animal oncologist Sara Verganti, and clinical pathologists Francesco Cian and Roberta Rasotto.

Each 30-minute session will begin at 7:30pm and focus on a specific aspect of MCT diagnostics, followed by a multidisciplinary Q&A session.

Sessions

Session details are:

• Thursday 7 October: “A GP approach to work up canine mast cell tumours” – with Dr Verganti.
• Thursday 14 October: “What cytology can tell you” – with Dr Cian.
• Thursday 21 October: “The histopathology report and proliferative markers: what they mean for your patients” – with Dr Rasotto.

Comprehensive

Neil Mottram, technical product manager at Virbac, said: “MCTs are the most common form of canine cutaneous neoplasia; although relatively simple to identify, knowing what diagnostic steps to take can be challenging.

“We believe this truly comprehensive bite-size mini-series will provide vets with the confidence to navigate the diagnostic approach for their next MCTs.”
