Plain-English summary
A 12-year-old spayed female Keeshond was brought to the vet because she was lethargic, not eating, losing weight, and vomiting. After tests, she was diagnosed with multicentric lymphoma, a type of cancer that can affect multiple lymph nodes. The vet recommended a multiagent chemotherapy treatment, which is often effective for this condition. The treatment aimed to improve her quality of life and increase her survival time.

Abstract
A 12-year-old, spayed female keeshond presenting with lethargy, anorexia, weight loss, and vomiting was diagnosed with multicentric lymphoma. Lymphoma usually responds well to multiagent chemotherapy. Efficacy, cost, toxicity, and duration of treatment determine a treatment protocol. Outcomes are compared on the basis of remission, survival time, and treatment-related toxicity.
