Oncologia

Siamo giunti alla terza edizione del nostro testo italiano originale di oncologia. La medicina in generale non è statica e ogni testo subisce velocemente il logorio legato al tempo che trascorre. L’oncologia è una delle discipline veterinarie a più rapido sviluppo e, per soddisfare una clientela sempre più incline a intraprendere un percorso diagnostico e terapeutico delle malattie tumorali, è necessario che il medico veterinario abbia un’adeguata preparazione per poter consigliare al meglio i proprietari. Pertanto, pur conservando gli obbiettivi originari, questa terza edizione è stata profondamente rinnovata per soddisfare le diverse esigenze dei lettori, dando maggior spazio agli aspetti interdisciplinari propri dell’oncologia, tra cui la chirurgia, e affrontando in modo rinnovato le metodiche e le terapie attualmente disponibili, per gestire al meglio il paziente oncologico. L’opera illustra i princìpi generali che guidano le indagini diagnostiche e le modalità di trattamento delle malattie tumorali, fornendo approfondimenti per le neoplasie dei singoli apparati e offrendo una rilevante parte iconografica e schemi decisionali chiari e semplici. L’oncologia è indubbiamente una materia complessa, dove la vita e la morte si intrecciano. Quest’opera non ha la pretesa di trovare soluzione a tutti i quesiti, ma ha l’ambizione di accendere una luce e di suggerire un approccio in un campo della medicina veterinaria che, da sempre, è un po’ oscuro. Curatori e autori sono una squadra di professionisti che, con grande competenza e capacità comunicativa, hanno saputo cogliere lo spirito interdisciplinare dell’opera, trasferendo nozioni e novità in campo medico-veterinario, rendendo questo testo una guida rivolta non solo al neofita, ma anche a chi ha esperienza specifica, e fornendo al medico veterinario tutti gli strumenti necessari per affrontare il paziente oncologico con un approccio sistematico.
