Course Description

Kendra Pope DVM, DACVIM (Oncology), an integrative oncologist, will describe the evidence-based modalities she employs most often in her oncology practice. Mechanisms of action and cases will help to illustrate these unique and effective tools.

When cancer strikes the beloved family pet it can have far-reaching consequences on family emotions, family bank account and family time commitments. Cancer is such a multifactorial disease that it needs to be approached in a multifactorial, integrative fashion. Developing a team approach to supporting both the patient and their family is at the core of this integrative approach. Blending the best evidence-based integrative therapies with the appropriate conventional therapeutics will have the best outcomes. This class will discuss team building and some of the more important cancer-busting supplements.
