A guide to lymph Node mapping in canine cancers

This guide focuses on the methodology and clinical relevance of lymph node mapping in canine oncology. Accurate identification and evaluation of lymphatic drainage patterns are critical in staging neoplasms, determining metastasis, and guiding surgical and therapeutic interventions. The book explores various mapping techniques including radiographic contrast studies, lymphoscintigraphy, and near-infrared fluorescence imaging using agents like indocyanine green. Special attention is given to sentinel lymph node detection, minimally invasive sampling methods, and interpretation of histopathological findings. By combining anatomical knowledge with diagnostic innovations, this volume enhances the veterinary clinician’s ability to deliver personalized, effective cancer treatment in dogs.
