Untreated dogs have an average survival time of 60 days. [20] Lymphoma with a histologic high grade generally respond better to treatment but have shorter survival times than dogs with low grade lymphoma. [6] Dogs with B-lymphocyte tumors have a longer survival time than T-lymphocyte tumors. [1]
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. [8] [9] In CLL, the bone marrow makes too many lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cell. [8] [9] Many people do not have any symptoms when they are first diagnosed. [8] [2] Those with symptoms may experience fevers, fatigue, night sweats, and ...
Types of leukemia in dogs include acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myelocytic leukemia, acute monocytic leukemia, acute myelomonocytic leukemia, acute megakaryocytic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, chronic basophilic leukemia, and chronic eosinophilic leukemia (or hypereosinophilic syndrome).

Regardless of how treatment proceeds following a diagnosis, the quality of life of the pet is an important consideration. In cases where the cancer is not curable, there are still many things which can be done to alleviate the dog's pain. Good nutrition and care from the dog's owner can greatly enhance quality of life.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) 4.0% Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) 8.7% Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) sorted under lymphomas according to current WHO classification; called small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) when leukemic cells are absent. 10.2% Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) 3.7% Acute monocytic leukemia (AMoL) 0.7% Other leukemias 3.1%
CLL/SLL is the most common adult leukemia in Western countries, accounting for 1.2% of the new cancers diagnosed each year in the United States. It usually occurs in older adults (median age at diagnosis 70) and follows an indolent course over many years. [11] About 1-10% of CLL/SLLs develop a Richter's transformation at a rate of 0.5–1% per ...
The lymphocyte subtypes are B-cells that share certain features with the abnormal clones of lymphocytes that circulate in chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocyte lymphoma (CLL/SLL) or, less frequently, other types of B-cell malignancies. Some individuals with these circulating B-cells develop CLL/SLL or the lymphoma types indicated by ...
As the name suggests, T-cell large granular lymphocyte leukemia is characterized by involvement of cytotoxic-T cells). [ 2 ] In a study based in the US, the average age of diagnosis was 66.5 years [ 3 ] whereas in a French study the median age at diagnosis was 59 years (with an age range of 12–87 years old). [ 4 ]
