Top 10 Most Common Types of Tumors and Cancers in Dogs

type of cancer in dogs via petcoach.co

One of the types of cancers that you talk about in the dog cancer survival guide is lymphoma

first of all I will start with you dr. Dressler what are the signs and symptoms that dog Guardian might see if their dog has lymphoma lymphoma is a strange cancer and that lymphoma starts

 as a spread cancer it usually doesn't form a single bump in lymphoma many times it's

discovered by the veterinarian during a physical exam where they feel the lymph nodes which

can be located underneath the jaw or in front of the shoulders or in the legs or in the groin are swollen and those feel like bumps and this on sometimes a guardian will notice this too and

though they'll come in and to the to the vets and they'll say to me well dr. dia what are all

these bumps underneath my dog's chin or I feel these bumps in the back legs or these types of

things and these bumps can swell many times without the dog actually showing signs of illness

that would be things like decreased appetite or vomiting or diarrhea or thirst changes and

these types of signs so typically with lymphoma you'll see one or the other or both in other

words swollen lymph nodes or some change in behavior that would let you know that your dog is not feeling well dr. Ettinger yeah I think lymphoma is as dr. Dressler said a unique cancer in

 that it's systemic that it spreads throughout the body and it is one of those cancers where

once your veterinarian has made the diagnosis I encourage you to get in in to a specialist as

quickly as possible because it's really it's a little scary in the sense of it is a pretty rapidly

progressing cancer and without treatment you know most dogs only live on average a month

on the flip side it in my opinion it's one of the more treatable cancers in that treatment the

basis of keith's of treatment is chemotherapy dogs live well and they live longer with treatment and on average will live well over a year you know 13 or 14 months so it a rapidly

progressive cancer but in my opinion a very treatable cancer but it's one that you want to

make a rapid decision and you want to get in and see a specialist sooner rather than later

 dr. Dressler any final thoughts in lymphoma lymphoma like other cancers should be treated by looking at the whole toolbox the entire array of treatments lymphoma is not one where

we use surgery often because the cancer cells are spread throughout the body they start in the

lymphatics and they are moving around the body so we don't really have a mass to remove we also sometimes will use radiation from time to time chemotherapy is the foundation of

conventional treatment for lymphosarcoma and we must include to really get maximum

survival advantage of maximum life quality also diet and a pottage ins which which are

substances that turn on cell suicide and cancer cells and the other full spectrum approaches

which can really help us and which are outlined in the dog cancer survival gun a lot of

information on lymphoma if your dog has lymphoma in the dog cancer survival guide

 dr. Ettinger in New York and dr. Dressler in Hawaii thank you both for being with us.
