Abstract:
This comprehensive review explores current advances and challenges in avian oncology. It discusses treatment modalities including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, cryotherapy, immunotherapy, and novel approaches like electrochemotherapy and photodynamic therapy, highlighting their applications, limitations, and outcomes in birds. The article underscores the importance of tailored, multimodal strategies considering avian anatomy and physiology, and advocates for further research, species-specific protocols, and evidence-based guidelines to improve diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of neoplasia in avian patients.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
