Lymphoma

Lymphoma is a general term for a variety of cancer that begins in the lymphatic system. In technical terms, lymphoma denotes malignancies of lymphocytes or, more rarely, of histiocytes. Collectively, these cell types form the reticuloendothelial system and circulate in the vessels of the lymphatic system. Just as there are many types of lymphocytes, so there are many types of lymphoma.

Traditionally, Lymphoma is classified as Hodgkin's lymphoma, discovered by Thomas Hodgkin in 1832, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (all other types of lymphoma). Modern classifications of lymphoma have moved away from this artificial division.

Lymphoma in dogs and cats.

Morrison, Wallace B.

Teton NewMedia, [c]2005

124 p.

$45.00 (pa)

Lymphoma in dogs and cats is common and usually treatable, but there are significant differences in their cause, clinical presentation and response to treatment. For dogs and cats with non-cutaneous lymphoma Morrison describes the etiology, histologic classification, AgNOR assessment, clinical features, laboratory findings, paraneoplastic syndromes, diagnosis and staging, evaluating treatment protocols, chemotherapy options (and their complications), chemotherapy combined with radiation therapy, nutrition therapy, and rescue therapy. For non-cutaneous lymphoma, he describes clinical features, diagnosis and staging, and treatment and prognosis. Morrison includes comprehensive references.
