Online Lecture – Consult with Prof. Derek Knottenbelt: Equine Melanoma – Debunking the Dogma (Part 3) (Recorded October 2020)
CONTENT DESCRIPTION
Equine melanoma is a very common condition often affecting grey horses but not too rarely also horses of other colours, sometimes very seriously. In the past, we have all been taught to leave them alone on the basis that horses will die with them, but not because of them. Historically this was an acceptable approach, when horses rarely reached 15 years of age. Now that horses are expected to live into their 30s and sometimes 40s, our attitude to the disease has to change. This lecture will also discuss diagnostic and therapeutic options and their limitations.
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.
