STUDY DESCRIPTION

#613

The Prognostic Significance of Chromosome Aneuploidy in Canine Lymphoma

North Carolina State University. 

Funded in Cooperation with the AKC Canine Health Foundation and other Parent Clubs.

#1226

Evaluation of Multidrug Resistance Genes in Primary Canine Lymphoma Cells Exposed to Enrofloxacin and Predisolone

Auburn University.  Funded in cooperation with the AKC Canine Health Foundation and other Parent Clubs

This research may result in changes in the management of patients with lymphoma or suspected lymphoma regarding steroid and antibiotic treatment.

Based on our Health Survey done in 2004 – 2005, cancer was the number two cause of death in Cavaliers.  The Trustees believe that cancer research is very  important to our breed.

#1232A

Investigation of NF-kB as aTherapeutic Target in Canine Lymphoma

University of Pennsylvania – School of Veterinary Medicine.  Funded in cooperation with the AKC Canine Health Foundation and other Parent Clubs.

 #1344A

Comparison of Percentage of T Regulatory Cells in Dogs with Spontaneously Occurring Lymphoma Following Oral Versus Intravenous Cyclophosphamide 

University of Missouri, Columbia - Funded in cooperation with the AKCCanine Health Foundation and other Parent Clubs.

#615B

Heritable and Sporadic Genetic Lesions in Canine Lymphoma

North Carolina State University - Funded in cooperation with the AKC Canine Health Foundation and Other Parent Clubs.

This research will set the groundwork to identify specific genes associated  with breed-dependent cancer risk. 

#768

A Collaborative Study by Veterinary Oncologists, Pathologists and Diagnostic Laboratories to Enhance the Detection, Diagnosis and Treatment  of Canine Lymphoma

University of Illinois - Funded in Cooperation with the AKC Canine Health Foundation and other Parent Clubs.

This research has the potential to alter costs of treatment according to tumor type and increase survival.
