Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lymphoma is one of the most prevalent and clinically significant malignancies in companion animals. Despite the availability of standard chemotherapeutic protocols, which often induce initial remission, issues such as drug resistance, disease relapse, and treatment-related toxicity remain significant hurdles. Advancing research into its pathogenesis is crucial for developing early diagnosis, novel targeted therapies, and refining prognostic tools to improve survival and quality of life.
This Special Issue will compile cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews that address the latest advances in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and management of lymphoma in dogs and cats. We will highlight innovative approaches that align with the scope of Animals, which publishes high-quality work on animal biology, welfare, and veterinary medicine. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Comparative oncology aspects of lymphoma.
- Novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and imaging techniques.
- Advances in therapeutic protocols.
- Management of refractory or relapsing disease.
- Long-term outcomes and quality of life assessments.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
