We begin this session talking about osteosarcoma. Dr. Karri Meleo, a board certified medical and radiation oncologist, will discuss whether biopsies should or should not be performed to establish a diagnosis and she will then discuss radiation therapy and stereotactic radiation therapy for dogs with bone tumors for palliation or a curative intent.
