Plain-English summary
A study found that certain dog breeds, specifically the Dogue de Bordeaux and Boxer, are more likely to develop T-cell lymphomas, a type of cancer. The researchers looked at various factors that might increase the risk of this cancer in dogs and found that older dogs tend to have a less aggressive form of the disease compared to younger dogs with more aggressive forms. If you have one of these breeds, it's important to be aware of the signs of lymphoma, such as swollen lymph nodes or unexplained weight loss, and discuss any concerns with your veterinarian for early detection and treatment options.

Abstract
AbstractMalignant lymphomas are one of the most common malignancies occurring in dogs; among them T‐cell tumours are less commonly recognized. Recently, many authors have recommended cytology as a sufficient diagnostic method for canine lymphomas, especially if supported by immunocytochemistry or flow cytometry. The aim of the study was to characterize animal‐dependent risk factors in canine T‐cell lymphomas (TCLs) in Poland, including specific cytological subtypes. Determination of the type and subtype of the tumour was made based on the updated Kiel cytological classification adopted for dogs as previously described. Two breeds turned out predisposed to TCL (dog de Bordeaux and Boxer) while no predisposition to B‐cell lymphoma could be evidenced. Dogs with low‐grade lymphoma were significantly older than those with high‐grade lymphoma.
