Lymphoma – a review of diagnostics and classification

Our understanding of lymphoma in dogs and cats is constantly evolving as we follow the human field, fuelled particularly by advances in molecular genetics. This session will be light on gritty detail and instead give a broad pragmatic overview of where we are now,  what is possible in terms of classification, how this impacts treatment and prognosis and where the field may be heading.

• Understand the spectrum of disease which is lymphoma.
• Understand the techniques available for its diagnosis and classification.
• Appreciate the equal importance of clinical observations, history and pathology reports.
• Appreciate the central role of communication between clinicians and pathologists in achieving the best outcome for our patients and their owners.
