Canine Lymphoma: The Cancer You'll See Most — and the One With Options
Dr. Rosemary Stolzer-Bolton, DVM, DVMCanineFree Preview
Lymphoma is the most common canine cancer and one of the most treatable — but managing it well requires mastery of WHO staging, immunophenotyping, CHOP protocol dosing, side effect management, and the honest relapse conversation. Follow Biscuit, a 7-year-old Golden Retriever, from his wellness exam cytology through CHOP induction, complete remission, relapse, and lomustine rescue. Earn 1.0 RACE CE credit.
Learning Objectives
1Apply the WHO clinical staging system (Stages I-V, substages a/b) and identify the single most powerful prognostic variable in canine multicentric lymphoma
2Distinguish B-cell from T-cell lymphoma using flow cytometry markers and interpret the prognostic implications for remission duration and overall survival
3Calculate BSA-based CHOP protocol doses, manage myelosuppression and hemorrhagic cystitis prophylaxis, and differentiate extravasation management between vincristine and doxorubicin
4Evaluate evidence-based integrative oncology adjuncts — including turkey tail PSP, omega-3 fatty acids, and acupuncture — and apply the antioxidant timing rule around doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide
5Select appropriate rescue protocols for relapsed lymphoma based on time-to-relapse and immunophenotype, and apply the HHHHHMM quality-of-life framework to guide end-of-treatment decisions
