Diagnostic evaluation and treatment recommendations for dogs with substage-a high-grade multicentric lymphoma: results of a survey of veterinarians.
TLDR
Current staging and treatment recommendations for dogs with substage-a high-grade multicentric lymphoma are varied and efforts to standardize recommendations should be considered.Abstract:
The goal of this study was to survey veterinarians regarding their current initial diagnostic and treatment recommendations for dogs with substage-a high-grade multicentric lymphoma. A written survey was conducted at the 2009 Veterinary Cancer Society conference asking veterinarians to provide demographic information, initial staging diagnostics and treatment recommendations for canine lymphoma. The most commonly recommended staging diagnostics were complete blood count (100%), chemistry panel (100%), urinalysis (85%), lymph node cytology (88%), thoracic radiographs (84%), immunophenotyping (76%) and abdominal ultrasound (75%). The most commonly used first-line B-cell protocols combined the drugs L-asparaginase, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (L-CHOP, 51%). CHOP (30%) and other CHOP-based protocols (12%) were used as well. Thirty-one percent of responders treated B- and T-cell lymphomas differently. Protocol lengths varied from ≤ 16 weeks to >2 years. Current staging and treatment recommendations for canine lymphoma are varied. Efforts to standardize recommendations should be considered.read more

TL;DR: The main merits of this book are the very clear illustrations, which combine realism with clarity and anatomical correctness, but it is let down by its brevity, which is exemplified in the chapter on radical prostatectomy.

TL;DR: The prognosis of advanced indolent lymphoma does not appear to be appreciably different from that of aggressive disease and Familiarity with the various histotypes is critical to make the correct diagnosis and drive therapy.

TL;DR: Flow cytometry is superior to PARR in correctly predicting immunophenotypes when evaluating lymph nodes from dogs already diagnosed with B- or T-cell LSA and if fresh samples are not available for FC, PARR is an acceptable assay for determination of immunophenotype given its high specificity.

Flow‐cytometric detection of phenotypic aberrancies in canine small clear cell lymphoma
TL;DR: It is argued that the combined use of cytology and FC allows solving the differential diagnosis between small clear cell lymphoma and non-neoplastic reactive conditions when histopathology is not available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific immunotypes of canine T cell lymphoma are associated with different outcomes
TL;DR: Dogs with multicentric T cell lymphoma and concurrent leukemia had shorter survival but similar progression free interval compared to those without leukemia, and immunotypes of CD4+/CD8-/MHCII+, CD4-/CD9+/M HCII+, and CD4/CD 8-/ MHCII+ were associated with longer progression free intervals.

Evaluation of a high-dose chemotherapy protocol with no maintenance therapy for dogs with lymphoma.
TL;DR: The intensified dose protocol is an option for owners who are willing to risk higher toxicity for a shorter protocol with no statistical difference in survival from the UW-Madison protocol.

Response evaluation criteria for peripheral nodal lymphoma in dogs (v1.0)--a Veterinary Cooperative Oncology Group (VCOG) consensus document.
TL;DR: These guidelines are intended only for use in dogs, where peripheral lymphadenopathy represents the principal component of their disease and as such do not critically assess extranodal disease (e.g., primary cutaneous, central nervous system, gastrointestinal).

Prognostic factors for treatment of malignant lymphoma in dogs.
TL;DR: Clinical stage and immunophenotype were found to be prognostic factors for time to relapse (among dogs that had had a complete response) and survival time and malignancy grade assigned according to the Kiel classification was determined to be a prognostic factor for survival time.
