Veterinary Oncology in a science combining veterinary medicine and cancer sciences. Veterinary oncology involves the treatment of animals with cancer, often using similar therapeutic approaches that are used to treat human cancer. Therapies used for veterinary oncology include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and surgery.
The therapeutic applications of medical cannabis and cannabinoid drugs is controversial, however the number of medical conditions in which cannabinoids and cannabis have shown promise as ther...
When the human genome was sequenced almost 15 years ago, it was a milestone for the understanding of an individual’s genome. However to fully understand a disease, millions of ind...
With prospective clinical sequencing of tumors emerging as a mainstay in cancer care, there is an urgent need for clinical support tools that aid clinicians in their decision making. To this...
