Feline fibrosarcoma: perioperative management

Compend Contin Educ Vet. 2007 Dec;29(12):712-4, 716-20, 722-9 passim.

Abstract

Aggressive and complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice for fibrosarcomas in cats. Thorough preoperative planning and meticulous surgical technique are necessary for optimal cosmetic, functional, and oncologic outcome. Perioperative pain management with an emphasis on preemptive analgesia and multimodal analgesia is essential to minimize patient morbidity.
