Canine Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma: A Translational Research Approach
The Cornell Veterinary Biobank is dedicated to promoting research to improve detection and treatment of dogs with lymphoma, improving life expectancy and quality for our companions. As part of this project, the Biobank is also committed to creating innovations for precision medicine and exploring how advances in our understanding of canine diffuse large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) can improve the lives of Lymphoma patients.
If you own a dog that has been diagnosed with lymphoma but has not yet begun treatment, you can help us with this study.
Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease Study
Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, also known as avascular necrosis of the femoral head, is an important condition caused by the disruption of blood flow to the ball of the femur – or femoral head. This is both a canine and human pediatric condition. This project is studying canine Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, hoping to develop a genetic test that will reduce the incidence of these diseases in dogs.
