Clinical Trials for Canine Lymphoma
Canine lymphoma is one of the most common cancers in dogs, accounting for roughly 20% of all canine cancers. It affects the lymphatic system and can appear in multiple forms including multicentric, alimentary, and mediastinal lymphoma. Clinical trials at leading veterinary universities are actively researching new treatments that may be free or significantly discounted compared to standard care.

Understanding Lymphoma in Pets
Lymphoma affects the lymph nodes and immune system and is one of the more frequently diagnosed cancers in dogs. It can appear in several forms, and most dogs respond initially to treatment.
Who it tends to affect
- Typical size: Can affect dogs of all sizes, though medium to large breeds tend to be diagnosed more often
- Typical age: Most commonly seen in dogs 5–11 years old
Breeds it's seen in more often
Golden Retrievers, Boxers, Bullmastiffs, Basset Hounds.
This is which breeds tend to develop lymphoma — not a list of who can join a trial. See eligibility below.
Can my pet join — does breed matter?
Trials typically enroll based on lymphoma subtype, prior treatment, and overall health rather than breed. Most have straightforward size and weight minimums that medium and large dogs tend to meet.
Most trials are open to all breeds and set requirements by size, weight, age, and diagnosis instead. Our matching service checks your pet's specific details against each study's actual requirements.
