Laser-Assisted Retropharyngeal Rigid Nasopharyngoscopy in Dogs
This article reviews minimally invasive approaches to the nasopharynx. It also introduces a novel approach, transbuccal retrograde rigid pharyngoscopy, and describes three cases in which this approach was used. (Source: Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice)

Preface
It is an honor to present an updated version of Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice on Endoscopy. The last issue of this topic was published in 2016, and since then, new information has been presented at a neck-breaking speed; from 2016 to today, more than 1500 articles are listed by PubMed on the theme of veterinary endoscopy.

Updates in Surgical Oncology
New knowledge and data can influence the treatment options of dogs and cats affected by neoplasms. Partial limb amputation with the use of a prosthesis is possible in dogs. Newer studies attempt to define better and understand the complications and limb function associated with this approach. Limb sparing is an alternative to amputation, and three-dimensional printing allows the manufacturing of personalized endoprostheses. Finally, the recommended approach for the excision of cutaneous mast cell tumors (MCTs) is with proportional margins. In dogs, grade shifting might have occurred when removing a recurrent MCT or soft ti...

Novel Treatments for Lymphoma
Lymphoma is a common disease in companion animals. While conventional chemotherapy has the potential to induce remission and prolong life, relapse is common and novel treatments are needed to improve outcome. This review discusses recent modifications/adjustments to conventional standard of care therapy for canine and feline lymphoma, options for treatment or relapsed/refractory disease, and cutting-edge immunotherapy and small molecule –based approaches that are in varying stages of regulatory approval.

Precision Medicine in Veterinary Science
Precision medicine focuses on the clinical management of the individual patient, not on population-based findings. Successes from human precision medicine inform veterinary oncology. Early evidence of success for canines shows how precision medicine can be integrated into practice. Decreasing genomic profiling costs will allow increased utilization and subsequent improvement of knowledge base from which to make better informed decisions. Utility of precision medicine in canine oncology will only increase for improved cancer characterization, enhanced therapy selection, and overall more successful management of canine cance...

New Therapies in Veterinary Oncology
This article summarizes the mechanism of action, available supporting data, and clinical use of three key veterinary cancer/supportive care therapeutics: Laverdia-CA1, Canalevia-CA1, and Stelfonta. This information will help guide clinical use within your practice and can be incorporated into discussions with clients regarding the newest available options for their dogs with cancer.

Veterinary Interventional Oncology
Interventional oncology (IO) is a rapidly growing field in veterinary medicine and has been accepted as a fourth pillar of treatment of neoplastic disease with other modalities including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The major categories of IO therapies in companion animals are focused on the use of locoregional therapies and stenting of malignant obstructions. Although significant assessment of veterinary IO techniques is still necessary, early evaluation of these varying techniques is demonstrating promising results.

A Practical Guide to Clinical Studies in Veterinary Oncology
This article explains the authors ’ experiences about opportunities, perspectives, and considerations required to initiate clinical studies in a veterinary oncology practice. These details include the infrastructure required for appropriate study training for all staff. Negotiation of scope of work and fees for service with study sponsors is also discussed. Finally, although generally similar, the article also describes management of clinical studies in academic and private practice settings.

Update in Veterinary Radiation Oncology
Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) involves the precise delivery of highly conformal, dose-intense radiation to well-demarcated tumors. Special equipment and expertise are needed, and a unique biological mechanism distinguishes SRT from other forms of external beam radiotherapy. Families find the convenient schedules and minimal acute toxicity of SRT appealing. Common indications in veterinary oncology include nasal, brain, and bone tumors. Many other solid tumors can also be treated, including spinal, oral, lung, heart-base, liver, adrenal, and prostatic malignancies. Accessibility of SRT is improving, and new data are const...
