SUMMARY: Researchers will study the genes that are turned “on” and “off” in feline gastrointestinal lymphoma as a step toward improving the diagnosis of this important cancer.
The research team will compare the genetics of dogs diagnosed with multiple cancers with those that are cancer-free, using both previously collected data and samples from the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study.
Researchers will develop and validate a novel molecular tool to assess residual cancer cell levels in dogs with aggressive T-cell lymphoma to help improve treatment and disease monitoring.
