Q

what ELECTROLYTE can be affected by LYMPHOMA?
what’s the cause in LYMPHOMA?
what OTHER DZ can cause this?

A

HYPERCALCEMIA (~15%)

in LYMPHOMA…
–> PARAENOPLASTIC SYNDROME where PTHrP is PRODUCED

OTHER DZ = ANAL SAC CARCINOMA

17
Q

goal of performing UA if we suspect LYMPHOMA?

A

= ASSESS RENAL FUNCTION & rule out UTI especially if considering CHEMO

18
Q

what finding do we expect on THORACIC RADS for LYMPHOMA?

A

MILIARY DIFFUSE

19
Q

CYTOLOGY for LYMPHOMA…
1. is FNA a good tool?
2. what size needle for FNA?
3. FNA technique?
4. what 2 reasons do we have to perform HISTOPATH?

A
  1. FNA IS GOOD!
  2. 22-gauge needle
  3. WOOD-PECKER –> REMOVE NEEDLE FROM SYRINGE
  4. HISTOPATH if…
    –> DEFINITIVE DIAGNOSIS wanted
    –> UNSURE AFTER CYTOLOGY
20
Q

WHAT TYPE OF LYMPHOMA?

A

MEDIASTINAL

21
Q

ABDOMINAL US findings on LYMPHOMA? (2)

A
  1. ENLARGED LIVER, SPLEEN, ABDOMINAL LNs
  2. Spleen looks like “SWISS CHEESE”
22
Q

_____ CELL LYMPHOMA PROGNOSIS > ___ CELL LYMPHOMA PROGNOSIS

A

B CELL LYMPHOMA PROGNOSIS > T CELL LYMPHOMA PROGNOSIS

23
Q

IMMUNOPHENOTYPING…
why is it important for LYMPHOMA?
what METHOD is used?
how long does it take to get results back?
if you’re sending off an FNA, WHAT DO YOU NEED TO SHIP IT IN TO KEEP CELLS FROM DYING?

A

IMPORTANT BC B CELL PROGNOSIS > T CELL

FLOW CYTOMETRY used!

results in 3-5 days

PUT FNA IN SALINE

24
Q

5 stages of WHO MULTICENTRIC LYMPHOMA

A

Stage I = SINGLE NODE or SINGLE LYMPHOID ORGAN, EXTREMELY RARE

Stage II = ENLARGED REGIONAL NODES either CRANIAL or CAUDAL to DIAPHRAGM

Stage III = GENERALIZED LN INVOLVEMENT/LYMPHADENOPATHY

Stage IV = LIVER AND/OR SPLEEN INVOLVEMENT

Stage V = BLOOD/BONE MARROW INVOLVEMENT and/or ANY OTHER ORGAN INVOLVEMENT

25
Q

2 BIG determinants of treatment for LYMPHOMA?

A
  1. OVERALL PHYSIOLOGIC STATUS OF PATIENT
  2. Financial & time commitment of client
    –> 19-week protocol
    –> 6K
26
Q

3 treatment options for LYMPHOMA?

+ WHAT’S THE TREATMENT OF CHOICE?

A
  1. NO TREATMENT = MST 4-6 weeks

2.PREDNISONE ALONE
–> Lymphoma is susceptible but CAN THEN QUICKLY DEVELOP RESISTANCE
–> MST = ~2 months bc then resistance forms
–> If RESISTANCE TO PREDNISONE FORMS, CAUSES RESISTANCE TO CHEMOTHERAPY

  1. CHEMOTHERAPY
    –> This is the TREATMENT OF CHOICE
27
Q

CHOP protocol for CHEMOTHERAPY? (4 drugs)

single-agent chemotherapy? (2 types, how often to give)

A

CHOP protocol?
1. CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE
2. DOXORUBICIN
3. VINCRISTINE
4. PREDNISONE

SINGLE-AGENT
1. DOXORUBICIN
2. TANOVEA
–> Treat dogs with this every 3 weeks for 5 treatments, THEN STOP

28
Q

PROGNOSIS for LYMPHOMA..
IF TREATED WITH CHOP-BASED CHEMO…
1. remission?
2. MST for B/T cell?
3. Cure?
for ABNORMAL forms of lymphoma?

A

IF TREATED WITH CHOP-BASED CHEMO…
1. REMISSION in MOST DOGS
2. MST..
–> B cell = 12-14 mos
–> T cell = 6-8 mos
3. <10% are CURED

ABNORMAL forms of lymphoma…
–> have UNFAVORABLE PROGNOSIS (only 4-6 mos MST)
–> NO CONSENSUS on how to PREDICT SURVIVAL for dogs with LSA, but there are some KNOWN prognostic factors…
–> LOCATION of FZ
–> SUBSTAGE (symptomatic or not?)
–> Immunophenotype

29
Q

RESCUE therapy for LYMPHOMA…
most dogs will ____ with ____ disease, rescue therapy aims to induce ____ ____ but it’s _____
response duration?

A

most dogs will RELAPSE with PROGRESSIVE disease, rescue therapy AIMS TO INDUCE SECOND REMISSION but it’s DIFFICULT

Response DURATION is 1-5 months

30
Q

CANINE T CELL LYMPHOMA…
= DESCRIBE what type of lymphoma this is
almost all cases occur WHERE? (2)
clinical signs? (2)
BEST DIAGNOSTIC TEST & result?
what OTHER parameter can act as a diagnostic?
SURVEILLANCE?
5 indications for chemo?
drug regimen? (2 drugs & timing)
prognosis?

A

= INDOLENT dz process and OVERALL BETTER SURVIVAL TIMES than NORMAL T CELL LYMPHOMA

Almost all cases occur…
1. in PERIPHERAL LNs
2. usually SUBMANDIUBLAR

clinical signs?
1. Often NO OTHER CLINICAL SIGNS besides…
2. LYMPHOCYTOSIS if progressing to LEUKEMIC PHASE

BEST diagnostic test = FLOW CYTOMETRY of the ENLARGE LN IS BEST
–> RESULT = CD4+CD45-, LOSS OF CD45 ANTIGEN

other parameter?
–> Or PERIPHERAL BLOOD if a HIGH LYMPHOCYTOSIS PRESENT

ACTIVE SURVEILLANCE with MONTHLY EXAM and BLOODWORK is indicated if PATIENT IS FEELING WELL (IF NO LYMPHOCYTOSIS), or EVERY 2 MONTHS

5 indications for CHEMO…
1. FEELING SICK
2. MULTIPLE ENLARGED LNs
3. SPLENIC involvement
4. PERIPHERAL CYTOPENIAS
5. EXCESSIVELY HGH LYMPHOCYTE COUNT

drug regimen?
= Can treat with CHLORAMBUCIL (chemo) and PREDNISONE for about 10-12 months

Prognosis = FAVORABLE, up to 2 years
