Background And Aim: Feline lymphomas are categorized based on the location of tumor cells, with anatomical classifications including alimentary, mediastinal, multicentric, and extranodal forms. Accurate diagnosis and classification of feline lymphoma are paramount for enhancing treatment and prognosis. T-cell lymphomas are CD3 positive, while B-cell lymphomas exhibit positive forCD20, CD79α, and paired box 5 (PAX5).

Evaluation of treatment response is essential for effective management. Ultrasound (US) can differentiate between benign and lymphomatous lymph nodes (LLNs).

Objective: This study aimed to identify the previously reported single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in both human beings and dogs in canine TCLs and null-cell lymphomas (NCLs) and to design compatible oligonucleotides from each variant based on the multiplex polymerase chain reaction.
Background And Aim: Hematological and blood chemistry parameters are crucial for evaluating and monitoring canine multicentric lymphoma during chemotherapy. Pre-treatment hematological and blood chemistry parameters can be used as prognostic survival outcomes for this disease. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of hematological and blood chemistry parameters pre-treatment and 4 weeks post-treatment on the survival outcomes of dogs treated with either a combination of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisolone (COP) or a combination of COP with L-asparaginase (L-COP) protocols.
