The treatment of multicentric canine lymphoma.
Canine LSA is a fatal disease if untreated, but fortunately it is also a disease that is very responsive to therapeutic intervention. It is likely that most cases seen and treated by practitioners will be managed with the currently effective drugs and with new protocols as they are developed. Other approaches, including immunotherapy and BMT, are likely to remain more in the arena of the academic institution but should be available in the referral setting for appropriate cases. Great strides have been made in the less than 30 years that canine LSA has been widely treated; it is reasonable that similar progress is to be expected in the years to come.
