Online Lecture - Consult with Prof. Derek Knottenbelt - Horses get cancer too! (Part 1)
CONTENT DESCRIPTION
This lecture discusses the mechanisms of cancer development in broad terms using equine cancer states as examples where appropriate. It is imperative to understand the mechanisms behind the development of neoplastic diseases, because only then can we understand why and how specific types of neoplasia develop in specific locations. As Prof. Tony Stannard once said, "You cannot expect to treat something that you do not understand”. We will try to answer some of the difficult aspects of cancer development and outline specific pathophysiology aspects.
Derek qualified from Edinburgh University in 1970 and after a period in research, spent 12 years in private practice. During this time he developed a keen interest in equine medicine and in 1985 he joined the academic world. Derek moved to Liverpool in 1989 and has since become Professor in Equine Internal Medicine. He has published widely in the scientific and lay press and is the author of 10 recognised text books. Derek has received international awards for his welfare work, his science and in 2005 he was honoured with an OBE by the Queen for his services to the horse. He is involved with national and international equine welfare and other charities. Derek's main professional interests are in oncology, dermatology, ophthalmology and wound management.
