Abstract
Advancements within the field of veterinary surgical oncology are constantly presenting themselves, especially with continued development of comprehensive cancer programs. With the use of more advanced imaging techniques within veterinary medicine, tumor staging is improving and techniques novel to veterinary medicine are being evaluated for potential clinical application. Recommended tumor staging and treatment approach for apocrine gland anal sac adenocarcinoma in dogs has evolved, with the anticipation of good long-term patient outcomes. Preoperative staging for mast cell tumors and recommendations for surgical margins to obtain for wide surgical excision is being reassessed by surgeons.
