Which is worse T cell or B cell lymphoma in dogs?
T-cell lymphoma is generally associated with a worse prognosis. Dogs with T-cell lymphoma treated with multiagent chemotherapy have reported median survival times of < 8 mo, whereas dogs with B-cell lymphoma treated with the same protocol have median survival times exceeding 15 mo.
How long can a dog live with Stage 5 lymphoma?
The life expectancy with most types of lymphoma in dogs is limited to only a few months. With chemotherapy protocols, this is increased to an average of 6½ to 12 months depending on the treatment plan.
What is the life expectancy of a dog with lymphoma?
Without treatment the life expectancy in dogs with lymphoma is 1-2 months. With treatment, in dogs that feel well, about 80% – 90% of dogs with lymphoma attain a complete remission with an average survival of 12-14 months.
What are the 5 stages of canine lymphoma?
The 5 primary stages designated to represent Canine Lymphoma progression are: Stage II: Regional involvement of multiple lymph nodes (either in the front half or back half of the body); Stage III: Generalized lymph node enlargement (this typically refers to enlargement of lymph nodes in BOTH the front half and back half of the body);
What are the covariates for lymphoma in dogs?
Additional covariate information when available included size, age, sex, phenotype, stage and grade of lymphoma, mitotic index, and treatment protocol.
Can a dog go into remission with Stage V lymphoma?
For example, dogs diagnosed with Stage V Lymphoma, and dogs that have been diagnosed in Subcategory b, generally have a statistically worse chance of going into remission using conventional chemotherapy treatments (and if they do go into remission, the length of that remission is generally much shorter than in the other categories).
Can a dog be diagnosed with T-zone lymphoma?
Dogs with T-zone lymphoma were probably diagnosed in later stages of disease because of the lack of signs associated with progression. As with human lymphomas, a histological diagnosis with immunophenotyping is a minimal requirement for diagnosis of a specific subtype.
