Scientific & Medical References
There were many studies, articles and books Dr. Dressler and Dr. Ettinger used when writing The Dog Cancer Survival Guide. When creating the Full Spectrum approach to cancer care, they made sure that their recommendations were backed up by evidence, because science is always advancing, and what was once considered a best practice by experts may no longer be the case.
