Oncology III:
Tumours of the Respiratory and Urogenital Tract, Endocrine & Miscellaneous Tumours

17 - 21 August 2026 | Nanjing, China

Registration Open

General Overview

Oncology III – High-Impact Tumours Across Organ Systems

Oncology III extends the framework of ESAVS Oncology to some of the most clinically significant and frequently encountered tumour entities in small animal practice, including:
• mammary tumours
• transitional cell carcinoma (TCC)
• nasal tumours
• endocrine neoplasia
as well as selected tumours affecting the thoracic cavity, eye, ear, and central nervous system.
These cases often involve high-stakes clinical decisions, where complete diagnostic information or advanced treatment options may not be available in routine clinical practice.
The course therefore focuses on:
• structured decision-making in complex anatomical regions
• realistic treatment planning
• clear assessment of prognosis and treatment limitations
Participants learn to confidently guide clients through challenging oncologic situations—providing clear recommendations on diagnostics, treatment options, and referral pathways.

Tumour covered:
  • Nasal & thoracic tumours (& thoracic surgery)
  • Genitourinary tumours & mammary tumours
  • Endocrine neoplasia
  • Ocular, ear and CNS tumours
  • Miscellaneous tumours
