About The Webinar
Canine lymphoma is one of the most common, and best documented, neoplasm in veterinary medicine with many patients managed in general practice. Lymphoma is generally very sensitive to chemotherapy and a rewarding disease to treat. Whilst the diagnosis can often be established cytologically, histological assessment provides further classification. Immunophenotyping is recommended and can be achieved via immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry or PARR. Ideally, staging should be performed at the time of the initial diagnosis and should include thoracic and abdominal imaging as well as bone marrow assessment. There are many different types of lymphoma with different clinical courses and variable prognoses so initial characterisation of each individual case is essential in guiding the treatment plan. Multidrug chemotherapy protocols are the mainstay of treatment.
