Plain-English summary
A dog diagnosed with lymphoma can benefit from chemotherapy, which is the most common treatment for this type of cancer. While a complete cure is rare, chemotherapy can help improve the dog's quality of life and extend their time with their family. Treatment plans may vary based on the specific type of lymphoma and the dog's overall health. Many dogs respond well to chemotherapy and can enjoy a better quality of life during their treatment.

Abstract
LYMPHOMA is the most rewarding cancer to treat with chemotherapy. Although a cure is hardly ever achieved and rarely the primary goal, chemotherapy can provide a good quality of life for the patient for a prolonged period of time. This article discusses the treatment options for managing lymphoma in dogs. An article published in the September issue (In Practice, volume 31, pp 380‐384) described the classification of canine lymphomas and outlined how they may be diagnosed.
