Surveillance, Epidemiology & End Results (SEER) data indicate that non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is approximately 50% more common among men than women. A similar male predisposition is reported for canine lymphoma, yet the underlying role of gender in lymphoma etiology remains elusive. Because similarities exist between canine lymphoma and NHL, databases including the Veterinary Medical Database (VMDB) and Veterinary Cancer Registry (VCR) may prove useful in understanding lymphoma epidemiology. This study sought to determine the relationship between gender and development of canine lymphoma.
