CLINICAL-TRIALS IN VETERINARY ONCOLOGY - A CLINICIAN VIEWPOINT

Review of the veterinary oncology literature is important for keeping up-to-date, but it can be time-consuming and sometimes frustrating. Re sults of clinical trials are published in a variety of formats, includ ing case descriptions, review articles, retrospective studies, and pro spective trials. They may be found as abstracts, which usually present preliminary data and interpretation, as interesting items or commenta ry in a newsletter, or as articles in referred journals. In this ''cli nician's viewpoint,'' a practical approach to sifting through the moun tains of literature is offered.
