A B O U T
Topics in Veterinary Oncology is
an onsite & online congress
on Small Animal Clinical Oncology
Topics in Veterinary Oncology (a.k.a. ONCOlogisch Treffen or the Dutch International
Veterinary Oncology Conference) has been organized for over 20 years
The congress' subject is always centered around 1 topic:
This can be: an organ system (GI, respiratory, skin...), a tumor type (neuro-endocrine, soft tissue sarcomas...), a body part (head & neck),
a species (feline) or a presentation (emergency oncology)
The subject is always discussed in-depth by:
a medical oncologist, a surgeon/surgical oncologist, a radiotherapist, a diagnostic imager, a pathologist (depending on the subject) and/or
a specialist on a specific subject (e.g. ophthalmologist, neurologist...).
We always invite a key-note lecture on the subject.
congress language is English
The congress can be attended live onsite, streamed live online, or viewed on-demand afterwards,
or any combination of the above; price is the same.
