Companion birds are increasingly living longer due to improved husbandry, nutrition, and veterinary care. As a consequence, a growing number of geriatric disease conditions are diagnosed and managed by veterinarians. Awareness of bird owners of diagnostic and treatment options for neoplastic diseases in humans and domestic animals has led to increasing demand to provide advanced diagnostic and treatment modalities for companion birds diagnosed with neoplasia. Treatment remains challenging in many companion birds due to the lack of information regarding prognosis and efficacy of antineoplastic treatments in these species. There is no established standard of care for most tumors in companion birds.
由于饲养管理、营养和兽医护理的改善，伴侣鸟的寿命越来越长。因此，兽医诊断和管理的老年疾病越来越多。鸟类主人对人类和家畜肿瘤疾病诊断和治疗选择的了解，导致对为诊断为肿瘤的伴侣鸟提供先进诊断和治疗方式的需求不断增加。由于缺乏关于这些物种抗肿瘤治疗预后和疗效的信息，许多伴侣鸟的治疗仍然具有挑战性。对于伴侣鸟的大多数肿瘤，没有既定的护理标准。
